Welcome Class of 2030!
Last week Saint Anselm College welcomed 551 new Anselmians to the Hilltop. After moving in and attending the New Student Mass in the Abbey Church, students were welcomed by new College President Michael Lewis. After saying goodbye to their families, the new students began a busy few days of orientation with activities such as the College's annual Brian Maguire Day of Service, the Pep Rally, and the New Student Banquet.
Meet Our Anselmians
"Saint Anselm College prepares students not simply for careers, but for lives of purpose, leadership, and service. Rooted in our Catholic and Benedictine tradition, we cultivate critical thinkers and compassionate leaders who engage new ideas, respect differing perspectives, and seek the common good. Through a distinctive liberal arts and professional education, Anselmians are prepared to lead and serve a changing world."
— Michael Lewis, Ph.D., president
In the classroom and in the community, an Anselmian education will challenge you to find your best self.

“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.”
