Service is a critical element in SJC’s curriculum and student life. Each campus offers a number of service-oriented clubs and organizations, as well as a wealth of experiential learning opportunities throughout New York and around the world, including Campus Ministry’s annual Alternative Spring Break service trip. St. Joseph’s prepares each student for a life characterized by integrity, intellectual and spiritual values, social responsibility and service; a life that is worthy of the College’s motto: Esse non videri — “To be, not to seem.”
