Welcome to the Office of Global Programs
A globally-minded ethos of servant leadership forms the backbone of our Vincentian “institutional DNA,” and guides the way we envision, support, and nurture education and collaboration. We welcome the world at St. John’s, and we invite you to explore all that we have to offer in New York, Rome, Paris, and through our engagement with international partners.
The Office of Global Programs is committed to the integration of international perspectives, programs and thinking among our students, faculty and staff through strategic program and partner development, faculty resources, and innovative international student support. We are committed to creating programs that support students across multiple and intersecting identities, and that are accessible to all students, independent of ability to travel and/or interest in mobility. Through the integration of these perspectives and programs, students gain more meaningful cross-cultural experience and invaluable skills for the job market, and the tools to grow into globally aware, responsible citizens and effective leaders in our increasingly interconnected, complex and diverse world.

Julia Goncalves: from around the Corner to around the World
For Julia Goncalves, St. John’s University has always been part of her family, and its picturesque Queens, NY, campus part of what she calls home.
Highlight
The 19-year-old Government and Politics major pursuing a minor in French comes from a “St. John’s family”—she is the fourth child in a family of five to attend St. John’s, and they live blocks away from the campus. Her mom is a double St. John’s alumna.
