About GOLD
Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) is an affinity group open to all alumni who have graduated from St. John’s University within the last ten years. GOLD serves as an outlet for recent graduates to connect in an environment that fosters career advancement, network expansion, and philanthropic awareness.
MISSION
To build a community of recent St. John’s alumni by creating a welcoming environment to share ideas and experiences that add value beyond our time as students. We help guide the transition between college and career through professional networking, social programming, and service opportunities.
VISION
GOLD strives to foster a sense of belonging, purpose, and pride in alma mater. We aim to serve as a resource for all recent alumni with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and career paths in their continued personal and professional growth. GOLD aspires to be the foundation for a lifelong relationship between recent alumni and St. John’s University.
GOLD provides many opportunities for young alumni to expand their network through value-added experiences and creative programs. From professional development and networking events, cultural outings and happy hours, service and community events, and sporting-related programs, our goal is to allow GOLD alumni to grow their affinity with St. John’s and with one another.
COMMUNITY A place that fosters camaraderie, builds relationships, and provides opportunities for connection. Through our commonality as recent St. John’s alumni, we empower our members to create meaningful bonds with each other, current students, the University, fellow alumni, and our beloved New York City neighborhood.
IMPACT As the largest affinity group of St. John’s University, we utilize our network to positively and purposefully influence the lives of our members and the communities for which we care.
FUN We keep the good times going, even after college ends.
