We Are Hawks
Saint Joseph's Hawks have courage, resilience, curiosity. We dare to grow into our true selves by taking chances, working hard and embracing a fast-changing future.
Who We Are
We’re a lively, close community of students, teachers and alumni with eyes wide open for new ideas and experiences. We take risks and we have each other’s backs. We explore widely, pushing the boundaries between art and science, thinking and acting, local and global. We’re looking for purpose, but we’re practical, too, because we want to lead the way to a prosperous future.
Our History
Transformation and Disruption Are in Our DNA
Guided by the Jesuit educational tradition since 1851, Saint Joseph’s has shaped passionate people with curious minds and real-world skills — people who are ready to make change and create a more just, humane and sustainable world.
Bordering Philadelphia and Lower Merion, We’re (Sub)urban.
Where We Are
We're part city, part suburbs. Our Hawk Hill campus is situated on 125 acres of land on the border of Philadelphia and the Main Line, while our University City campus is located in the heart of West Philly, just minutes away from Center City. These two locations offer the ideal blend of urban energy and suburban tranquility.

How We Contribute
