Connecting Johnnies for Life.
Once a Johnnie, always a Johnnie

For more than 150 years, Saint John’s University has empowered young men to receive a transformative education, grow in their faith, and pursue their life’s ambitions.

Founded by the Benedictine monks in 1857, Saint John’s is built on values of community, service, and respect for all individuals. Today, with a network of over 30,000 alumni worldwide, Saint John’s stands as one of the Midwest’s most respected institutions, shaping leaders who excel in careers across all sectors. Our alumni network is one of the most engaged and robust in the nation, with 97% of graduates securing employment shortly after graduation.

The Alumni Association is dedicated to connecting and supporting the Saint John’s community through meaningful programming, volunteer opportunities, and financial support. Whether through career services, networking, or lifelong learning, we strive to strengthen alumni ties and provide ongoing opportunities for current students to thrive, ensuring the continued legacy of excellence, leadership, and service at Saint John’s University.

Give Back

Nearly every Johnnie receives scholarship help to fuel his drive to become a man of learning, character and distinction. Much of the funding for that scholarship support comes from gifts from alumni, parents and friends of Saint John’s. When you give, you have the power to direct your gift toward life-changing scholarships or the programs and areas you’re most passionate about. We hope you’ll join us in supporting our Johnnies!
