Leading by Example

Leadership Roles are available to alumni who wish to become actively involved with their fellow graduates while staying connected to alma mater.  You may choose to share your leadership abilities in a number of ways, including:

  • Participating in Annual Traditional Events.  St. John’s is built upon tradition, and alumni are encouraged to show their support for the University by participating in annual events such as the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Blessing of the Couples, our various golf outings, etc.
  • Serving as Chapter Leader.  Chapter Leaders serve as the primary liaison between their local/regional chapter and the University and to alumni who are new to the region.  They provide leadership in planning programs, recruiting alumni as Chapter Volunteers and serve as ambassadors to secure annual donations from other chapter members.
  • Serving as Chapter Volunteer.  Chapter Volunteers assist Chapter Leaders with the planning of chapter events.  They assist in generating attendance at chapter events.
  • Serving as a Committee Member for Constituent Groups.  Many of our alumni have a special affinity for a particular campus location, academic college or school, student activity, cultural connection or other aspects of the University.   Serving as a Committee Member for any of these groups helps to foster the connections of alumni with shared interests by planning and promoting a variety of events and activities.  
  • Serving as a Volunteer for Alumni Reunion Celebration.  Alumni Reunion Celebration volunteers play an important role in the success of this annual event.  They participate in the planning and implementation of events and communicate with other alumni to solicit their participation and support.
