We developed the foundation of the Discover the World program in keeping with our Vincentian heritage. As an institution, St. John’s University is committed to the intellectual, spiritual, and personal development of its students. Discover the World exists to foster personal responsibility, social awareness and a commitment to academic excellence and cultural appreciation.
