St. John’s evolution into a leading global educator is also
being reinforced by expanding the University’s physical
presence.
Beds are being added at the Manhattan campus in preparation for
converting it into one of the University’s international learning
centers. We acquired an additional site in Rome to expand student
facilities as part of the University’s goal of transforming our Rome site into its premier study abroad
hub. To further solidify its global presence, St. John’s also
secured a property in Paris that is being developed into an
international learning center similar to the Rome campus and we are
also forging visionary partnerships with other institutions such as
All Hallows College in Dublin and Hanoi National Education
University in Vietnam providing a widening number of overseas
facilities for pursuing an international education. St. John’s held
a high-level three-day conference in Goa, India,
on a critical sustainable development issue in India — bridging the
country’s technology digital divide. This gap reflects the fact
that poor villagers have little or no access to the Internet,
excluding them from participating in their nation’s economic
progress. The event — the College of
Professional Studies’ first overseas conference — was designed
to spark a crucial public conversation for those concerned with
social and economic inequities.
