Admissions Open House
This past Saturday, October 21st, the Annapolis admissions office hosted an open house for prospective students and families. Visitors had the chance to participate in a seminar, speak to current students, admissions counselors, and faculty members, tour campus, attend a panel on life at St. John’s, and even hear from the campus president! We really…
Student Activities Fair
From swing dancing to climbing club, from Mock Trial to the Storyteller’s Guild, extracurricular opportunities at St. John’s abound. At the beginning of each year on both campuses, activities fairs introduce new freshmen to the various clubs they can join, and re-introduce upperclassmen to their favorites, along with any new groups. Between our two…
Convocatum Est!
Convocatum Est! With those words, presidents Roosevelt (college wide, Santa Fe) and Kanelos (Annapolis) officially declared the college’s 322nd session open. The year began with registration, as students arrived on campus, moved into dorms, and received their class schedules. For admissions, it was particularly exciting to see the incoming freshmen we had worked with, interviewed, and…
Summer Internships
For many of our students, the summer is a prime opportunity to get hands-on experience in a field of interest in the form of an internship. And every year, many Johnnies fund their internships through the Ariel Internship Program and the Hodson Internship Program, which are offered exclusively to St. John’s College students. This summer,…
Summer Academy: Justice, Nature, and Law
Week Four of Summer Academy also marks the first session in Annapolis. After three great sessions in Santa Fe, we were excited to welcome students to our eastern campus! Students have studied Pascal in lab, read Antigone, The Republic, and the Book of Job in Seminar, and read selections of Kafka, O’Connor, Lincoln and Welty…
Hiking on campus
One of my favorite things about our campus’s location in Santa Fe (and it’s a long list!) are the hiking opportunities that start literally on campus. There is even one hike–Monte Sol–that you can do, from start to finish, without ever leaving campus! But the most extensive hiking opportunities come in the Santa Fe National…
Admissions Retreat 2017!
Being one college on two campuses is one of the many things that makes St. John’s great,but it also means that the admissions office doesn’t get to be all together nearly as often as we would like! Once a year, we have a week-long retreat on one of the two campuses, which gives us…
School’s out for summer
The photo is from one of the spring break outdoor programs offered on our Santa Fe campus–but I think it captures the joy of a well-earned summer break! But as our students head out to relax, pursue internships and coursework, and enjoy some summer reading, here’s one last monthly round up for the academic year….
Commencement in Annapolis
This past Sunday, May 15th, the Annapolis campus held its commencement ceremonies. While commencement is always an exciting day, it’s also bittersweet for the seniors, and for the staff and faculty as well. We’re proud to see them receive their diplomas, but we’re sad to see them go! This year was also marks president…
