Meet the Counselors

The St. John’s Office of Undergraduate Admission is dedicated to providing excellent service to prospective college students, their parents, guidance counselors, and those we meet while traveling throughout the fall and spring seasons. A St. John’s representative can be seen at college fairs and high schools spanning the globe. With counselors visiting extensively throughout the northeast corner of the United States, along with California, Florida, North Carolina, and throughout the Midwest, you’re almost sure to recognize the University’s red-and-white table banners. International recruitment is prevalent, as well, with counselors in Europe and Asia.
