The Annapolis Cup

Although St. John’s College faced an honorable defeat against our worthy rivals from the U.S. Naval Academy, the 41st Annapolis Cup was, as always, a wonderful celebration of shared traditions and spirited competition. We look forward to cheering on the Johnnies as they prepare, with renewed determination, to reclaim the Cup on Saturday, April 18, 2026! Discounted $50 tickets will be available to alumni and their families for a limited timeframe during a presale window. For more details and ticket information, click here. Sponsorship opportunities are available to those who may be interested in marketing benefits and access to the host tent experience; learn how to sponsor the Annapolis Cup here.

Individual, personalized counseling is available for alumni on both broad issues, such as mentorship for those who are uncertain of their career goals, and specific needs, including pre-med and pre-law counseling, application strategies for graduate programs and internships, and advising for competitive fellowship and scholarship applications like Fulbright, Rhodes, Marshall, Schwarzman, Knight-Hennessy.
