Saint Anselm College Institutes

New Hampshire Institute of Politics
The New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College was established in 1999 to serve as a resource for students, scholars, politicians, and the general public. Founded on the premise that engaged citizens are vital for a healthy democracy, the Institute conducts programs and research that are designed to enlighten and encourage people for a lifetime of civic participation. The Institute has no alliances, formal or informal, with any political party, organization, or agenda. It seeks to develop programming and to foster scholarship and dialogue encompassing a diverse range of political topics, opinions, and issues.

Institute for Saint Anselm Studies
The Institute for Saint Anselm Studies is an academic research center conducted by Saint Anselm College and established to promote and encourage the study of the life, thought, and spirituality of Saint Anselm of Canterbury, the patron of the College. By means of its resources, facilities, and programs, the Institute offers to the College's faculty and students, and to the larger scholarly community, the opportunity and means to bring Saint Anselm into living contact with the culture of the twenty-first century. While the philosophical, theological, and ecclesiological accomplishments of Saint Anselm have historical value that the institute seeks to explore and articulate, it is a further goal to uncover their perennial value for the nourishing of Christian wisdom, for stimulating reflection on critical issues, and for the deepening of personal spirituality.
