Bach Family Honors House Tour Drop by the Bach Family Honors House to tour the residence and talk with Honors Program students.

Career Services: Helping You Go Far Join members of Saint Francis University's Career Services Office as they share their philosophy on helping students reach their career goals. Emphasis will be placed on services and programs that assist students with finding jobs in their career paths. The session will also include information about aptitude assessments, resume assistance, mock interviews, graduate school advising, job fairs, and student internships.

For Parents, by Parents Saint Francis University believes that parents are critical partners in their students’ educational experiences. We invite the parents of prospective students to attend this session and speak with parents of current SFU students. The format of this session is Q&A and designed to provide parents with a better understanding of the parental role in helping their student to embark on a successful and enjoyable SFU experience.

Life as a Division I Athlete As a Division I University, athletics play a big role in the lives of many students. Join members of our athletic teams as they share their stories with you. Our student athletes will offer you a candid look at what it’s like to compete on the field as well as the classroom.

SFU Classroom Experience Join Dr. Arthur Remillard, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies, for an enlightening mini-lecture and discussion on philosophy, religion, and food.  Where does our food come from?  Who is responsible for planting, picking, raising, slaughtering, and processing the food we eat?  What ethical issues impact our food chain? How does our approach to food shape our outlook on the world and who we are as Americans?  This experience serves as a window into the challenging concepts and critical thinking skills required and developed through a university education.

More in Four...the Co-Curricular Transcript at SFU tells much more of YOUR Story SFU's new dual-transcript program aims to put SFU graduates at the front of the lines for competitive graduate schools and jobs!  The new Leadership, Involvement, and Service Transcript (L.I.S.T.) at Saint Francis University captures information pertaining to students' transformational experiences and tells a more complete story of who they are, what they've accomplished, and what skills and insights they've acquired in their time at SFU.  This officially authorized document from the University will add a critical layer of information and insight to a graduate's employment or admissions portfolio.

Student Life Fair SFU offers more than 75 campus clubs and organizations. Stop by the JFK Student Center Lounge to engage in conversation with faculty and students from campus organizations. We encourage you to ask questions about co-curricular offerings and research opportunities.

Study Abroad Our study aboard programming presents many opportunities for our students to gain an understanding and appreciation of our global community, all while earning credit. Join us for an overview of these opportunities and hear students' stories of how embracing the Franciscan value of a Global Vision through studying abroad has impacted their lives.

Undergraduate Research: Your Breakthrough Awaits Passion breeds inspiration, and Saint Francis University adheres to this tenet by providing avenues for students to engage in research that interests and enriches their education. Join Dr. Stephen LoRusso as he discusses the professorial mentoring network and explores how you will benefit from the many available research opportunities here at SFU. Finally, meet several students who will share the experiences that have led them to produce professionally-recognized findings that contribute to their respective fields.

Walking with Francis St. Francis of Assisi provides us with inspiration for the Franciscan Goals of Higher Education. Our students put these goals such as a humble and generous attitude toward learning and service to the poor into action as they participate in mission opportunities. Current students will share their personal stories from volunteering with service trips on local, national, and global levels. Service projects have included academic and faith-based activities, community restoration, housing projects, medical care including physical and occupational therapy in rural clinics, and providing a micro-lending program.

Academic Sessions During this session you will have the opportunity to meet faculty, learn more about curriculum, research, internships, co-curricular opportunities, and outcomes within the four schools at SFU.
