Convocation for undergraduates and first-term graduate students will be held at 11:00 a.m. on the Meem Library Placita on Thursday, August 30. Returning students are encouraged to attend.
Graduate Council
The Graduate Council is a representative body of graduate students in both the Liberal Arts and Eastern Classics programs. The council’s two main purposes are to provide a vehicle for student involvement in college administration and to organize social events. Two representatives from each tutorial are elected to the council at the beginning of each term. Elections for the spring term will take place on Thursday, January 19, immediately before tutorial begins at 5:00 p.m.
Mailboxes and Campus Mail
Mailboxes for new students will be assigned by January 13. Please ask the switchboard operator for your box number and combination. Continuing students’ box numbers and combinations will not change between the fall and spring terms.
You should check your box regularly throughout the term for notices of academic and social events. If you expect to receive mail from outside the college, you should publish your address as NAME, ST JOHN’S COLLEGE, 1160 CAMINO CRUZ BLANCA, SANTA FE, NM 87505. Please do not use your box number or include the Graduate Institute in your address or it will delay delivery of your mail.
Bookstore
The St John’s College Bookstore stocks all the texts on the reading list. Bookstore hours are 8:45 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday (closed on major holidays).
Regular Social Events
The William Darkey Graduate Common Room is reserved for regular after-seminar parties on Thursdays. The Graduate Council, which arranges Thursday evening parties and other social events, welcomes your membership and your ideas. Individual students or groups of students may also contact the GI office or the Student Activities Office for assistance in planning social and recreational activities.
