In what he called an “historic gathering” of the St. John’s community, University President Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. addressed over 1,100 administrators, staff and faculty over the course of three Town Hall meetings held on September 9. Standing at the podium in the Little Theater, and simultaneously viewed by community members on the Staten Island, Manhattan and Rome campuses, Fr. Harrington told his audience that “many of us think St. John’s University is poised to become a really great University. We’ve made phenomenal progress,” he said, “and great, great possibilities lie ahead of us.”
