The Quincentenary year may be behind us, but 2012 promises to be no less exciting as we look forward to the launch of a new online community for Johnians, the 30th anniversary of women studying at St John’s and the opening of the restored Divinity School. Not forgetting the London Olympics, of course, which will undoubtedly be a fantastic event and a major talking point for the next few months!
