Events

One of the highlights of the “PARTICIPATE 2010” initiative will be held in October, when local candidates will be invited to participate in two separate Candidate Forums for the St. John’s University community. The “St. John’s University PARTICIPATE 2010” Candidates Forums will take place on Monday, October 18 and Monday October 25 at the school’s Queens Campus, as local elected officials and candidates running for public office in the upcoming November elections will have a unique opportunity to speak with students, faculty, administrators and local residents.

A complete schedule of “PARTICIPATE 2010” events planned by both student groups in the upcoming months will be highlighted on this page and can be found by visiting the Participate 2010 web site online at www.stjohns.edu/participate.
