Building our new Residence - Capital Campaign

You may have heard that we need to build a new residence. Our present residence is outdated, not energy efficient, and lacks accessibility. We are working on 10-year plan which includes reusing the materials from the old residence wherever possible for these renovations.

An update around this campaign will be released when it's ready. Thank you for creating a caring community environment for today’s St John’s College students.

Opportunities to give back

The following opportunities have been identified by the Warden and Council as the areas of greatest need on the St John’s College campus. Please contact Jackie Markstrom, jackie.markstrom@umanitoba.ca or 204-474-9350 for more information or to find other opportunities.

Academic Endowment Fund

These funds are used for initiatives in research, public lectures and conferences.

Canadian Studies Endowment Fund

A Canadian Studies program will promote excellence in learning and be a valued contribution to the interdisciplinary study of Canada.

Chaplaincy Endowment Fund

The Chaplain assists our community to grow in grace, intellectually, physically, spiritually, emotionally and to become stronger more integrated people. The Chaplain provides counselling, support and organizes Chapel services.

Residence Improvement

Students who live on-campus tend to do better academically and graduate sooner than those who live off-campus. The college works to ensure our 100 room residence is as up-to-date as possible.

Scholarship/Bursary Endowment Funds
