Dear St. John’s Families,
Welcome to the November/December 2007 edition of the Parent
Association Family Connection! It’s hard to believe that the
semester is almost over. The winter months are an exciting time at
St. John's University and we are here to keep you informed on what
your son or daughter may be experiencing.
As you know, the goal of the Parent Association is to assist you
in supporting your child and helping him or her succeed at St.
John’s University. The topics in this edition include the emergency
notification system, updates from Residence Life, how to prepare
for long holiday visits with your son or daughter, career planning,
the story of two award-winning student athletes, updates from the
University Freshman Center, leadership development, a highlight
from the Discover New York program, and seasonal issues that
students often face. We hope that this information will be
informative and helpful.
If you are in need of additional assistance, please contact
Katelynn Coy with the Queens campus Parent Association at (718)
990-7629 or Kimberly Palmieri with the Parent Association on the
Staten Island campus at (718) 390-4345 or encourage your son or
daughter to speak with a student affairs administrator.
We hope that your family has a very happy and healthy
holiday. We will “connect” again next semester!
Sincerely,
The Parent Association
