Countdown to Commencement
We are so excited to celebrate the class of 2025—both undergraduate and graduate students—on Sat., May 17 at 10 a.m. at the 132nd Commencement Exercises.
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.

Access Academy is an after-school program held at Saint A’s where students from Manchester’s four high schools can participate in extended learning opportunities in coursework that is driven and taught by college student leaders supported by faculty partnerships. This semester, Access Academy hosted more than 130 unique high school students in 16 classes ranging from all fields of study including STEM, humanities, college and career pathways, and physical education with a team of more than 70 college student leaders in positions of instructors, mentors, and CELs.
If you are able to attend the showcase on Monday May 5th, you can expect to see high school student projects that include posters, app development testing, published writings, student speakers, class presentations, a mural, and a choreographed dance video.
Please reach out to Liz Kirwan, Director of Access Academy, with any questions.
We hope to see you there!
