The Campaign for the Jean School
The college has an ambitious campaign underway for the Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences to support the construction of Grappone Hall as well as scholarships and programs. Through the campaign, Saint Anselm is elevating the excellence of its nursing, public health, and health sciences programs to prepare healthcare practitioners and leaders to address complex and ever-changing healthcare challenges.
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.
