Since arriving on the Hilltop in 2019, Joseph A. Favazza has guided the College through extraordinary challenges and remarkable achievements. His presidency began with an inauguration that marked not just a new chapter, but the beginning of a seven year journey defined by vision, purpose, and community. You leave this College stronger, more vibrant, and more prepared for the future because of your leadership. We celebrate not only what you have accomplished, but the lasting momentum you have created.

"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."

President Joseph A. Favazza, Ph.D. 


In the classroom and in the community, an Anselmian education will challenge you to find your best self.

Nicole Gugliucci, Ph.D., Department Chair and Associate Professor, Physics, was featured in the most recent issue of Portraits Magazine's Focus on Faculty.

“Turns out what I like most about science is sharing it with other people. Teaching it, and sharing it with others. … It’s important to me that everyone can feel some connection to science and see that it is understandable, it is reachable, it is even doable.”

Nicole Gugliucci, Ph.D.
