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.

The growth in mindfulness over the past decade has been astounding. More individuals and organizations are recognizing the physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits of embracing mindfulness as part of daily living.
Mindfulness is the intentional directing of awareness to the present moment in a focused and sustained manner with nonjudgement. Mindfulness is thus paying attention to our attention moment by moment, by moment. By being mindful, among other things, we learn how we create our reality.
Leadership is concerned with identifying new realities and helping the organization adapt and align to the changes they imply. Leadership is thus about paying attention to what is arising each moment within the spheres of the relevant domains at the time.
This seminar will discuss mindfulness, its impact, and how it is practiced, and will propose how practicing mindfulness can be extremely helpful to the role and tasks of leadership.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Light refreshments will be available. Register here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/mtkpavk
