Over a decade has passed since St. John's University held its
first Founders Week. Since 1995, each Founders Week
observance has celebrated the many different ways that our
Vincentian Heritage continues to guide our entire University
community.
We are delighted to present this archive of past Founders Week
events. The links below offer a look at the individual themes and
activities that have characterized each year's celebration. We hope
this archive will strongly reflect the ongoing vitality of St.
