QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's University has created a wonderful vision for its future. We want to return our basketball program to national prominence, and to do so we must make enhancements to Carnesecca Arena.

Intercollegiate athletics is an integral part of our University's tradition and educational experience, and the renovations described in this brochure will improve each of our 17 athletics programs. Fans, students, student-athletes and coaches will benefit from the improvements we plan to make.

This plan provides all of our varsity programs with facilities reflecting their top-flight status in the fiercely competitive BIG EAST Conference. An enhanced "home" for our athletics program positions us for success in the years to come.

I know the passion that we all have for St. John's and its proud tradition. I hope you will help make my dream a reality. I strongly encourage your help with our efforts.

God Bless,
