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.

FEATURED FACULTY MEMBER
Fine Arts Professor Sean Parr, Ph.D. was featured in the most recent issue of Portraits Magazine's Focus on Faculty.
“My current project tackles the idea of what it means to sing Wagner in Wagner’s time, and what it means to sing Wagner after he died. It’s led me to look deeper into the connection between music and politics, and music and ethics, and what do we do with great music by bad people.”
