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.

Your journey as an Anselmian does not end with graduation. The relationships you built during the time on the Hilltop continue to be a source of support and connection. They are there when you celebrate milestones, navigate your career, and grow in faith.
This Days of Giving, honor all of the Anselmians who have made up your community and make a gift to ensure that our current and future students are able to experience that same connection.
Anselmian Then. Anselmian Now. Anselmian Always.
