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
Theology Professor Ahida Pilarski, Ph.D. was featured in the most recent issue of Portraits Magazine's Focus on Faculty.
"The first program in women’s studies in the United States was approved at San Diego State University in 1970. Saint Anselm College also is celebrating the 50th anniversary of women at the college this year. It is nice to know that our college joined this major change of increasing the access of women to education."

Location: Alumni Quad Statue Platform
Join our campus community as we pray for those who were affected by the events of September 11, 2001
Join the Institute on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, as we welcome Dr. Charles Wheelan, former Congressional candidate and founder of Unite America, who will speak about political innovation in the American election process. He contends that while the individuals we elect are clearly important, the methods we use to elect them are equally, if not more, significant. Wheelan maintains that the current electoral mechanisms—especially gerrymandering combined with partisan primaries—result in electing representatives who are more radical than the general populace and less inclined to engage in the compromises essential for governing a diverse nation.
Wheelan will delve into Alaska's pioneering 2020 referendum, where voters abolished party primaries in favor of a single, open primary system and introduced ranked-choice voting for the general election. Similar electoral reforms are being considered in several states for the 2024 elections.
Free and open to the public.
