Queens Campus Halloween Trick-or-Treat A
Success
Your student may have been one of the residents who volunteered
their time to host over 150 children from the Boys and Girls Club
and St. John the Baptist to enjoy a Safe Trick-or-Treat through the
residence halls on Sunday, October 28th. The children were
treated to games and crafts and then escorted through the halls to
go door to door for Halloween.
Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving is a few weeks away. The Residence Halls will remain
open during the Thanksgiving Break. For security purposes,
students should notify their Resident Director/Assistant if they
are planning to stay in the Residence Halls over the break.
During the break, overnight and non-St. John’s visitors are not
permitted in the residence halls and there are no dining services
during this time.
Dining Services on the Queens Campus will host students for the
Annual Thanksgiving Dinner in Montgoris Hall on Tuesday, November
13th. As a special event for the holiday, University
Administrators, Staff and Faculty will be on hand to serve dinner
to students.
If your student is staying on the Queens Campus Residence Halls
during the break they are invited to join us for a catered
Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday, November 22nd in the Donovan
Community Room at 3:00pm. Students who sign up in advance
will also receive a Metro Card to go the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day
Parade.
For those students staying on the Staten Island Campus, there
