Busy days @StJohnsU renovation projects from Ida readying for @StJohnsBBall + all @StJohnsRedStorm seasons #NewYorkTough

[St. John's Alumni @stjohnsalumni]

When you think of @StJohnsBBall what comes to mind?

For us it's Lou Carnesecca, also known as Coach Carnesecca the winningest coach in @StJohnsBBall history. We will be honoring him with a Statue Dedication on Oct. 23 @ 5:15pm!

Last week we had our first hands-on workshop in the Archives & Special Collections this semester. It was so much fun showing off a variety of prints (intaglio, relief, and planographic processes) to a #printmaking class. The oldest item was from 1493, and the newest from 1999.

It's Thursday! Do you know what that means? Another @SJUarchives throwback! Here is a sketch of St. Augustine Hall circa 1962. Who has this kind of talent? 🤯

We love the retro look! @StJohnsU @stjohnsalumni

[St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences @stjohnsartssci]

What do you think? Should we go back to the retro look? Enjoy another #throwbackthursday from @SJUarchives! This brochure dates back to 1908! Talk about a throwback!

Earlier today we shared a pop-up archives exhibition at the @StJohnsU McCallen Society luncheon, and heard some great memories from our alumni.

The landscape has changed dramatically since @StJohnsU purchased the Hillcrest Golf Club in 1936! @BrianTBrowne @stjohnsalumni @everytract.

I won't admit to how long I've been waiting for the @StJohnsU Census Tract to make its appearance. Enjoy @stjohnsalumni

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. @StJohnsU will commemorate the day through solemn gestures and events, as we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost that day, including 75 members of the #StJohns family. #NeverForget https://t.co/8NQa7yyid7

Our favorite classes are the ones that visit us in Archives & Special Collections! Any @StJohnsU faculty interested in scheduling a customized archives workshop for your students?
