The Center for Mission and Research connects St. John’s with the world around us. We promote interdisciplinary inquiry and action through the focus areas of environmental sustainability, global health and wellness, innovation and design, and justice and peace. Through our programs and initiatives, we encourage thinking critically, taking risks, and building resilience while engaging humanity’s biggest challenges.
