The Five Pillars — Service

St. Joseph's University, New York students routinely respond to the needs of the larger world.

A dedication to service is at the heart of many of the programs, clubs and classes at St. Joseph’s. Students often look for new ways to serve others, whether it’s through study abroad programs, community service activities, service clubs, or raising money for a cause they believe in. The volunteer projects provide rewarding opportunities to help others and to be transformed by the experience.

"I enjoy seeing the willingness and the openness of our students, as they learn about the grace and the gift that service is. The mission and the legacy that was the Sisters of St. Joseph foundation, beginning in 1650, continues on today at St. Joseph's University."
