HEARTS ON FIRE is not about prestige or positioning. It’s about people and purpose. Our history-making $400 million campaign invites our community—200,000+ Johnnies strong—to advance this proven model at the very time when our city and the world call for more St. John’s graduates. Your support enables us to reach for these urgent goals:
$175 Million to Grow Access and Opportunity
by providing greater levels of scholarships and financial aid, so all students can follow ambitious paths of social mobility from St. John’s into the world, applying knowledge and values gained here to succeed and serve others in the Vincentian tradition.
$175 Million to Evolve Our Queens Campus
by completing the top-priority projects from our new Master Plan. Having opened St. Vincent Health Sciences Center, we now turn to upgrading historic academic buildings, beginning with St. John and St. Albert Halls; creating a men’s and women’s basketball practice facility; and converting Taffner Field House into a health and wellness center for all students.
$50 Million to Strengthen Academic Leadership
by retaining and recruiting the very best faculty, endowing more professorships and chairs, supporting faculty and student research capacity, and adding curricula and programs that keep St. John’s always relevant to the maketplace and constantly rising in the ranks of higher education.
