Impacting Student Enrollment

There are a number of ways in which alumni can have a positive impact on student enrollment at St. John’s University, including:

  • Open House Attendance provides alumni with an opportunity to speak directly with potential students and their families who are actively engaged in the process of selecting a college or university.  Alumni will join with staff members from St. John’s Office of Admissions to provide a personal perspective regarding the uniqueness of the St. John’s experience and encourage potential students to become a member of the University family.
  • Accepted Student Receptions allow alumni to socialize with students who have already been accepted to the University but who may not as yet have decided to attend St. John’s.  These events are held at many cities across the country, and the presence of successful alumni to discuss what their alma mater means to them in an informal social setting is often a pivotal factor in the decision of students and their families to attend.  By serving as an alumni representative in your geographic area, you will illustrate the strength of St. John’s lifelong alumni network.
  • Enrollment Day Activities take place on campus and offer alumni a chance to meet and socialize with enrolled students as they begin their collegiate experience at St. John’s.  Joining with representatives from the Office of Alumni Relations, participating alumni make students feel at home from their very first day and reinforce the reality that membership in our University family is forever.
  • Move-In Day is always hectic as residential students and their families physically move into their dormitory accommodations for the first time.  The presence of alumni on this memorable day serves as a warm welcome to the young men and women who are establishing themselves as members of the living and learning community of St. John’s.
