"In these troubled times, Saint John’s University is a source of stability. Our Catholic beliefs tell us what is important: a belief in the dignity of each person; a special concern for those less fortunate, and a sense of solidarity among all people. Our Benedictine values guide us: living and working in community, praying together, and listening intently. Because of our beliefs and our values, we are hopeful [for a better future]." - SJU Interim President, Eugene McAllister
