Letter from the Associate Vice President

Dear Student,

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to St. John's University and our Freshman Center family.

The Freshman Center was created for you. This is a testament of how important you are to the University. As our newest members, it will soon become apparent that you are not simply part of an institution of learning.  St. John's University has a proud tradition of service, a unique population, and a myriad of resources, which will enhance your experience as you embark on this exciting journey.

In order to assist you, you will be assigned a personal advisor. This individual is here to guide you.  Your advisor will ensure that there is always someone available to address your questions and  challenge you to reach new heights.

I invite you to take advantage of this opportunity and embrace all that St. John's University has to offer. By making friends, joining clubs and taking part in various activities, you will fulfill your responsibility of being the best student possible. Most importantly, take your studies seriously and don't forget to utilize the Freshman Center. As your first-year advisors, we will be with you step-by-step as you lay the foundation for future success.

Sincerely,
Dr. Nancy S. Kaplan
Associate Vice-President
Director of the University Freshman Center
