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.

From Carnegie Hall to Nashville’s Bluebird Café, David Wilcox has
brought his warm, baritone vocals and image-filled acoustic poetry to audiences for decades. He believes music is sacred ground and his inveterate storytelling paired with his distinctive guitar technique reflect that. His expressive finger-picking-style playing and open tuning, often with custom capos, seamlessly accompany his layered lyrics that are insightful and quietly cut deep. A prolific and revered folk musician, he has earned praise over the years in The New York Times, The Boston Globe and Rolling Stone, among others.
