Orientation 2009 Fall Orientation Schedule*

Welcome to the Saint Ben’s/St. John's Community!

     Throughout your four years at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, you will hear the word community more times than you can count. More importantly, you will feel the communal character that defines the St. Ben's/Saint John’s experience. During Fall Orientation you will come to understand what it means to be a Johnnie or a Bennie and what the Saint Ben's/Saint John’s community is. You will also have ample opportunities to get to know other community members, which include CSB and SJU new and returning students, faculty, staff, sisters and monks.
