60 Year Anniversary Campus Celebration

TO: John Jay Community Members
RE: 60 Year Anniversary Campus Celebration
Opening our doors in 1965 as the College of Police Science, we’ve evolved into a premier, justice-focused college. As we continue to commemorate 60 years of educating fierce advocates for justice, our faculty, students and staff members are at the heart of our legacy and impact.
In honor of our 60th anniversary and in deep appreciation of your invaluable contributions to John Jay’s profound achievements, we are hosting a celebration for the entire College on Thursday, November 20, 2025 from 2:00pm-6:00pm in the Kroll Atrium, Hound Square, Mezzanine and on the Jay Walk (weather permitting).
This festive occasion will be filled with fun, light fare and fellowship. You do not want to miss this opportunity to enjoy games, live music and collective engagement. Please let us know if you plan to attend. RSVP here!
I would like to provide gratitude to our philanthropic partner for their generous investment and commitment to our community’s well-being and success that makes this celebration possible. Equally important, please allow me to offer very special thanks to the Planning Committee for their significant efforts to make this event unforgettable:
