St. John Fisher University

Don't worry, we're taking very good care of campus while our Cardinals are away. In fact, we're even redecorating a bit!

to this past April, when Fisher hosted the Out of the Darkness Walk. This was the tenth year the event has been hosted at Fisher. Guest speakers and community members joined students and employees in raising funds and awareness for mental health initiatives on campus and beyond. We appreciate everyone who helped organize this year's walk, and everyone who took part or contributed!

A gift in honor of a founding member of the Wegmans School of Pharmacy Advisory Board has established a scholarship for students pursuing the health sciences, and another gift from a former nurse will support nursing students facing financial hardship.

This spring, students from St. John Fisher University’s sport management program traveled to the NCAA March Madness and the NFL Draft to see firsthand what it takes to host these national sporting events. The group worked behind the scenes throughout the tournament, supporting event operations, media relations, and pre- and post-game press conferences, serving as valuable members of the tournament team who contributed in a very real way.

It's been a busy few weeks, and that means we haven't had a chance to talk about this year's Fisher Flight program!

This year's annual program brought 12 Cardinals to Charlotte, North Carolina for two days of alumni networking, employer visits, and immersive professional development. Students had the opportunity to explore one of four career tracks, experience the energy of a major metropolitan city...and, of course, the hands-on pizza-making class, courtesy of Chef Joel Kraft from Fisher Dining!

The Fisher Flight Program is organized each year by the President's Office, the Office of Institutional Advancement, and Fisher Career Services - thanks to all for this year's adventure!

! During the academic year (And the summer, as a matter of fact!), we love to post our students' campus photos on our Instagram and Facebook Stories.

Students, alumni, and all members of the campus community are invited to share their photos with us. Send us a DM on Instagram (), and you could see your photos on our Stories - and maybe even a post or two!

We can confirm that April showers did, in fact, bring May flowers here at Fisher.
