Welcome to the Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute at Saint Anselm College. Established in 2018 with a generous gift from Robert and Beverly Grappone, this Institute represents several years of thought and planning by Saint Anselm faculty who seek to affirm and invigorate the College’s 128 year-old commitment to humanistic studies as an integral part of a Catholic Liberal Arts Education.

The man for whom the Grappone Humanities Institute is named was himself a model of the examined life that Socrates said was the only one worth living. Greg was young man of insatiable intellectual curiosity, a deep love of books, and a persistent engagement with the great ideas that have informed human existence. A resident of Concord, New Hampshire, he graduated from Saint Anselm College in 2004 as a Great Books major.
