Thank you for your interest in having Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P., President of St. John’s University, attend your event or meeting.

We recognize that St. John’s community members may want Fr. Shanley to attend their events, meetings, and/or activities. As you may imagine, the president’s calendar fills quickly, and the Office of the President receives many more requests for his attendance than we are able to accommodate.

Due to the large number of requests the Office of the President receives and the complexity of the president’s calendar, we ask that you please provide as much information about your event as possible.   

Please complete the request form at least 12 weeks in advance so that we may determine if his schedule will permit him to attend. Online submission of this form is REQUIRED for all requests. All requests will be considered and responded to in a timely manner.

Once a meeting or event is confirmed on the president's calendar, please provide the following briefing materials at least three (3) weeks prior to the meeting or event date. This information is required prior to a scheduled meeting or event for the president’s preparation for the event.

We hope to be able to accommodate as many requests as possible, and we appreciate your assistance in providing the information requested to help ensure that the President’s attendance will contribute to the success of your event.

If the president’s name is noted on an invitation or materials for an event, those pieces need to be submitted to the Office of the President for review and approval prior to printing.

If you have any questions, please contact Nunzia Manuli, Vice President and Chief of Staff, Office of the President, via email at [email protected] or via phone 718-990-2401.
