俱乐部+活动
Johnnies are some of the most interesting people you’ll ever meet, reflected in the diverse opportunities to get involved on campus. While there are some st和bys (like the 牛虻, the student newspaper that’s been around since the ’80s, or the storied theater group the 威廉国王球员), many of the offerings change by year due to the students’ varied interests. Whether you want to spend your free time reading even more books or you want to blow off some steam on the dance floor, there’s something for every Johnnie. Don’t see the club or activity that you want? 制作自己的.
视觉+表演艺术
Study (和 make) fine 艺术, bond with fellow film buffs, or take to the stage.
If you appreciate the 艺术s, you’re in the right place. 爱电影? 加入电影协会, 在这里,cult经典, 常规的经典, some films defying categorization are shown for free in the FSK auditorium. 天生就会演戏? 加入 威廉国王球员, the student-run theater dep艺术ment that puts on plays in FSK (和 occasionally other spots around campus). They do several productions a year, spanning genres 和 occasionally presenting original student-written works. Previous productions have included 没有退出, 春天的觉醒, 皆大欢喜, [2], 世外桃源. (P.S. Sometimes faculty join in the fun—you might find yourself playing opposite your seminar tutor!)

新闻+文学
Publish your poetry, try your h和 at journalism, or exp和 your horizons in a study group.
It goes without saying that Johnnies love to read 和 write, so there is naturally no shortage of opportunities to do both on campus. Write for or publish your work in one of the many student-run publications: the 牛虻, a bi-weekly newspaper that covers campus news, includes op-eds on current polity issues, 写诗, 艺术, 还有短篇小说; Energeia, the largest 艺术 publication on campus, 以散文为特色, 诗, 摄影, 绘画s; the 时代杂志, a qu艺术erly publication that runs op-eds, 认为作品, reportage from students on politics, 政策, 和社会; 棱镜, a newly established 摄影 magazine that’s open to all polity members; 和 the 苹果, a completely anonymous (和 often hilarious) newsletter run by students.

社交+华尔兹
只工作不玩耍? Not for Johnnies, thanks to Reality 和 Waltz P艺术ies.
Most American colleges have something called a Student 事件 Board or Office of Student Activities. 在全球十大赌博靠谱平台在安纳波利斯, that’s called Reality—a wink to the Johnnie Bubble, the affectionate name given to the Johnnie tendency to get totally absorbed in the Program 和 life on campus. 现实的政党, held frequently throughout the semester, offer students a chance to let loose a little. The Fall semester features an annual st艺术-of-term p艺术y, 啤酒节, 万圣节晚会, 和更多的, as well as near-weekly social events put on by the fearless archons (that’s what club leaders are called at St. 约翰的—we told you it’s different here!)
Another important p艺术 of social life at SJC is dancing … or, 更具体地说, 华尔兹和摇摆舞. Waltz 和 Swing P艺术ies are beloved traditions on campus, beginning with the Convocation Waltz at the beginning of the year, where students decorate the quad with string lights 和 dance all night. The Waltz Committee throws several dances a semester, often with a theme (think: Under the Sea, 举办的化妆舞会, 袜子跳, 或睡衣华尔兹), students dress accordingly. No need to worry about being an experienced dancer—the Waltz Committee offers “emergency” dance lessons to all students ahead of time. Fun fact: Midshipmen (和 women) from the nearby Naval Academy often come to campus for Waltz P艺术ies, offering a chance to mix 和 mingle with people outside the Johnnie Bubble.
政府+政治
Here, political discussion isn’t uncomfortable—it’s essential.
Politics are essential to the he艺术 of St. 约翰的 College, but not in the way you may think. Students focus not on the p艺术isan rhetoric prevalent on the national stage, but on the development of Western political ideology 和 the foundations of American democracy. The entire college is governed by the Polity, which comprises the entire St. 约翰的 community 和 is often used as a direct address (think: “Dear Polity … ”). Within that polity is the Delegate Council (DC), the student government on the 安纳波利斯 campus. 每年, up to four delegates are elected to represent each class, the whole Polity elects the board of officers made up of the president, 财务主管, 秘书, 和先驱. The DC meets multiple times during the week to discuss current issues critical for the student body 和 to decide on funding requests for clubs 和 oversee ch艺术ering, 预算为, auditing all student clubs. The DC also serves as student representatives to the broader community 和 maintains communication between the student body, 教员, the college administration.
An essential subcommittee of the DC is the Student Committee on Instruction, whose primary function is to be the polity liaison to the Instruction Committee 和 weigh in on everything from laboratory manuals to seminar readings. The SCI is designed to serve as a forum for the student body concerning academic issues. 议员审议立法会. 约翰的计划, meet with prospective tutors, set up events such as discussion panels 和 extra seminars. The SCI encourages students to engage in continuing conversations about the academic Program.
服务+志愿服务

Johnnies are idea people with strong convictions. Every one of your classmates will have an opinion on virtue—和 many choose to practice what they preach through volunteerism 和 advocacy. The biggest student volunteer group on campus, 项目Politae, arranges group volunteer opportunities like elementary school tutoring, 老年中心活动, 无家可归者收容所的工作. 另一个是St。. 约翰环保俱乐部, is devoted to creating awareness on campus about issues relating to protection, 保护, 保存, restoration—with an emphasis on educating 和 empowering students.

文化+亲和力
Find like-minded people or challenge your own beliefs. With groups dedicated to all kinds of identities, the possibilities are endless.
Johnnies may all follow the same Program of study, but they are anything but homogenous. Our campus is home to a diverse population of thinkers representing different racial 和 ethnic backgrounds, 宗教信仰, sexual 和 gender identities, 政治倾向, 和更多的. And while the success of seminar depends on the acknowledgment of our shared humanity, it also depends on the exchange of ideas 和 perspectives. You’ll meet people who are unlike anyone you’ve known in the past (和 with whom you might adamantly disagree), but you’ll also find a group of friends who share your interests 和 values.
Whether you want to challenge your beliefs or spend time with like-minded people, there is an ever-shifting roster of identity groups on campus with which to engage. If you’re politically minded, join the Leftist Reading Group or its conservative counterp艺术, 鲁汶学会. Check out the Black Student Union or Pink Triangle, the LGBTQIA+ club on campus. 而全球十大赌博靠谱平台的 has no religious affiliation, there are a number of religious groups: the Christian Prayer Group, Shammai (a Jewish organization), the Orthodox Christian Fellowship, 举几个例子.
