Committed to Global Learning, St. John’s Beautifies Study Abroad Location in Paris

March 13, 2013

Reflecting its ongoing commitment to global learning, St. John’s University unveiled renovations to the main courtyard of its Study Abroad location in Paris, France, with a March 7 ribbon-cutting attended by students, administrators, and French dignitaries.

Located in the colorful Sixth Arrondissement, the facility is the site of two popular St. John’s Study Abroad programs. The Paris Semester offers an academic and social immersion in French art, language, and history. Through Discover the World Europe, students earn course credit in three European cities in a single term.

The upgrades enhance the courtyard’s appeal as a gathering place for students. Additions include outdoor benches and tables, upgraded paving, improved lighting, trellises, and planters. A new wrought-iron gate at the courtyard’s entrance emphasizes easy access to the rue de Sèvres and all that Paris has to offer.
