The St. Francis College community is invited to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the College's charter. On May 8, 1884, the Legislature of the State of New York granted a Charter to the Board of Trustees of St. Francis Monastery "to establish a literary college in the City of Brooklyn under the title of St. Francis College."

The annual commemoration of Charter Day celebrates the rich tradition and history while honoring the students, faculty, staff, and community partners.

At this year's Convocation, we will pay special tribute to the newest members of the Duns Scotus Honors Society. The Society, named in honor of Franciscan Scholar, the Blessed John Duns Scotus. Election to membership is based on high scholarship standing, participation in extracurricular activities, evidence of loyalty to the ideals of St. Francis College and demonstration of a true Franciscan spirit.
