Looking Back on 2024
As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on last year’s stories, highlights, and historic milestones. We welcomed a new abbot and chancellor and broke ground on Grappone Hall, our newest building. The Hilltop also celebrated big wins from field hockey to fundraising to award-winning rankings and classifications.
Meet Our Anselmians
"I believe with all my heart that today’s world needs Saint Anselm College, a place that is infused with the Catholic and Benedictine values of community, hospitality and love, where the humanities, arts and sciences and professional programs like nursing, criminal justice and business build on our liberal arts core rather than compete with it. We need a place where you don’t have to choose between career outcomes and life outcomes. That place is Saint Anselm."
In the classroom and in the community, an Anselmian education will challenge you to find your best self.
