The President's Society

On May 1, 2003, 25 new members were inducted into the President’s Society. Over 200 Society alumni gathered to honor this year’s group of 26 graduating members and to celebrate individual accomplishments and the promise of future successes. Founded in 1968, The President’s Society is the highest honor society in the University. It consists of those students who combine scholarship, integrity and maturity with leadership skills demonstrated by their significant contribution to the extracurricular life of the University.

Members of the Society are considered part of the President’s official staff and are designated special duties at University functions. They are often paired with prominent alumni, world leaders and well-known humanitarians. This is an opportunity to make connections and build a network, as well as realize their role as leaders in something even greater: the St. John’s Family.
