Welcome Home, New Students!
We're so excited to welcome the Class of 2030 and our transfer students to campus for Anselmian Beginnings Part II: Move-in and Orientation.
During orientation, new students will become immersed in the Anselmian community through academic and student life sessions, shared meals, the College's annual Brian Maguire Day of Service, the Pep Rally, and the New Student Banquet. These experiences mark the beginning of many cherished Hilltop traditions.
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."
— Joseph A. Favazza, Ph.D., president emeritus
In the classroom and in the community, an Anselmian education will challenge you to find your best self.

FEATURED FACULTY MEMBER
Nicole Gugliucci, Ph.D., Department Chair and Associate Professor, Physics, was featured in the most recent issue of Portraits Magazine's Focus on Faculty.
“Turns out what I like most about science is sharing it with other people. Teaching it, and sharing it with others. … It’s important to me that everyone can feel some connection to science and see that it is understandable, it is reachable, it is even doable.”

Leaving home can be as complicated as living there and as inescapable as our own DNA. What’s it like to have your ancestors come from a land that no longer exists on any map, or what’s it like to grow up in a place you love but doesn’t seem to love you back?
Kerri’s talk "Living There, Leaving There" will explore the impacts of economic and environmental degradation in the contexts of intergenerational bonds. Her remarks will be livestreamed and in person panelists will responde following her keynote address.
In person and online audience will be able to pose questions via a facilitated q&a by Dr. Loretta Brady (Psychology) who is the Stahl Fellow '26-'28. This event is sponsored in partnership with The Franco-American Centre Beliveau Arts Series Fund ,The Father Jonathan, O.S.B. Center For Intercultural Learning and Inclusion , Conversatio , Saint Anselm College Psychology Department and is made possible with funding from the Bean Distinguished Lecturer Series, funded by the Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation Endowment at Saint Anselm College.
This event is free and open to the public and will be offered as a hybrid event with in person programming beginning at 6pm in the Campus McCready Event Space located within the Jean Student Center. Registration for the webinar beginning at 6:30 p.m. can be accessed via this zoom registration link.
