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.
Mailboxes and Campus Mail
Mailboxes for new students will be assigned by June 10th. Please ask the switchboard operator for your box number and combination. Continuing students’ box numbers and combinations will change for the summer term.
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. through 7:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 8:45 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., Friday; 2 p.m. through 8 p.m., Sunday (closed Saturday and major holidays).
