The Mission of the University Freshman Center is to promote
first-year success by assisting students with their overall
transition, acclimation and integration into the University
Community. Using a student-centered approach inspired by the spirit
of St. Vincent DePaul and grounded in the Developement Advising
Model, the Center will initiate and maintain an on-going
relationship with each and every first-year student that focuses on
academic success, student developement, individual satisfaction,
and ultimately retention. The Center prides itself on "going the
extra mile" in making each student know that he or she is an
important part of St. John's University.
