Saint Anselm College is committed to developing in its students the skills to live as virtuous citizens and leaders. We believe that a Catholic liberal arts education must benefit not just the individual, but the communities of which our graduates will be a part. During their years here we ask our students to learn how to live lives that will in fact be of benefit not only to themselves, but to society as well.
With this commitment in mind, and at the suggestion of Fr. Augustine [Kelly], the Dean of the College, I am inaugurating today the Saint Anselm College Award for Service and Citizenship. It will be awarded at Commencement in those years when a senior student has demonstrated to an extraordinary degree two hallmarks of a Saint Anselm education: service to one's community and engagement as a virtuous citizen.
