CANCELLED

St. John’s University regretfully announces the cancellation of Grand Alumni Homecoming Weekend scheduled to take place from Thursday, May 28 to Monday, June 1.

This decision reflects our efforts to take proactive and prudent measures to ensure the health and safety of the St. John’s and broader communities in accordance with the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH).

Although current circumstances are interrupting this year’s event, St. John’s mission of educating those most in need continues every day. The University depends on your much-needed support to carry out this important mission.

We thank you for your understanding.

Ways to Contribute

Reunion Gift

Establish your legacy at St. John’s University in celebration of your 25th, 40th or 50th anniversary! Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for St. John’s and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to St. John’s University.
If you would like to receive additional information about establishing your legacy by making a planned gift, please contact Susan M. Damiani at [email protected] or 718-990-7562.
