Four people, all wearing College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University apparel, are posing and smiling for a photo. They are seated and standing around a large red chair with the college’s name and logo on it in an outdoor setting with greenery in the background.

Purpose-Driven Education

It’s not easy to explain what it means to become a Bennie or a Johnnie, but when you have it, it’s yours for life. Some say it’s the connections you develop during your education. Others say it’s the way that faculty go out of their way to make you feel supported even when there’s a rough patch. Maybe it’s that you’re surrounded by people with shared values, yet diverse in background and culture. Whatever the reason, we’re proud of it and know you will be, too.

Four college students are standing on a dock by a lake, smiling and observing a fish in a clear tank. Two women, both wearing red college sweatshirts, hold the tank. The other two people are crouched down to get a closer look. The background shows autumn trees.

A large group of enthusiastic college students, wearing red St. John's University attire, gather on bleachers. Some hold foam fingers and signs, while others take selfies and cheer, showing school spirit at an outdoor event under a clear blue sky.
Six people wearing red shirts leap into the air on a floating dock in a lake with a backdrop of green trees. They appear joyful, with their reflections visible in the water. Two ladders are at the edges of the dock. The sky is clear and blue.
