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.

Dr. Daniel Doña is concluding his Saint Anselm College residency with a viola recital. Dr. Doña will present a program featuring repertoire written by Filipinx composers Nicanor Abelardo and 2025 Pulitzer Prize-winner Susie Ibarra.
Abelardo is best known for his kundiman, a genre that is best described as Filipino art song and that informed his musical output throughout his life. Susie Ibarra’s modern take on kundiman is highlighted in “Pasig River,” excerpted from Ibarra’s new song cycle, CHAN: Sonnets and Devotions in the Wilderness, commissioned and premiered in Berlin by Maerz Musik Berliner Festspiele and produced with her fellowship in music and sound with the DAAD Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst.
The program will also feature music by Elliot Carter, Rebecca Clarke, and Arnold Bax. Dr. Doña will be joined by Victor Cayres on piano and Saint Anselm violin and viola professor Heather Braun-Bakken on violin.

The 13th Annual Hospice and Palliative Care Conference, Conveying Care While Meeting Practice Challenges, offers an essential opportunity for clinicians and interdisciplinary care teams to deepen their skills and refresh their understanding of the complex issues that shape today’s hospice and palliative care landscape.
