From Homecoming and croquet to campus lectures and concerts to alumni gatherings in your area, there are Johnnie events in Annapolis, Santa Fe, and around the country.

The Annapolis Cup

We are excited to bring the annual croquet match between St. John’s College and the U.S. Naval Academy back this year for its 41st anniversary. Please also look for information on this webpage, which will be refreshed with updated content as the date draws closer.

Let’s Get Together and Give Together!

When you make a gift during Homecoming for your reunion, it is more than just a tribute to your class; it’s an investment in the future of the college and the next generation of Johnnies. This fall, join classmates in making a meaningful contribution towards the Program that will allow others to experience the college’s time-honored traditions.

Make your milestone donation and support your class’s collective efforts. Each class celebrating a quinquennial reunion will have its own campaign. Watch as your class goal grows and compare your standing to other classes as Homecoming weekend approaches!

On-Campus Events

St. John’s College offers an array of events to both the Annapolis and Santa Fe communities, ranging from world-class music concerts and art exhibitions to academic lectures and theater performances, many of which are free and open to the public. See our comprehensive calendar of events for more!

Chapter Events

Alumni gather around the country and the world to continue the life of the mind begun in our halls via a variety of vibrant programming, including seminars, cultural outings, wine tastings, and other social events. Joining an existing gathering or finding your own group is made possible via SJC Connect, our in-house social connection platform that enables Johnnies to find their fellow Johnnies. See the Groups page on SJC Connect to locate existing gatherings or use the Directory tool to find Johnnies near you (or your classmates for an online gathering!).
