During his more than 30-year career on the Hilltop, Dan Forbes ’81 has inspired, supported, and connected thousands of students with service opportunities through the Meelia Center for Community Engagement—helping make the college, New Hampshire, and the world a better place.

While none of these gems are actually hidden, we highlight places and things you may walk by every day but never notice, or know the story behind.

The historic campaign exceeded expectations, helping transform the Hilltop for generations to come.

As an institution, we are guided by our Catholic and Benedictine mission and identity in which all human life is valued and all are worthy of the same dignity and respect. With this in mind, we have spoken with a collective voice in naming racism a social evil and embracing productive efforts to engage in positive change.

These faculty members provided a combined 314 years of service to the college upon their retirement last spring.

So much of the past year has been buffeted by Covid-19, and certainly that is true here on the Hilltop.
