From Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7, 2026, Saint Anselm College hosted more than 800 alumni, from classes ending in 1’s and 6’s, and their guests for Reunion Weekend. This included the class of 1976 who were inducted into the Order of Golden Anselmians.
“It was wonderful to welcome so many alumni, family, and friends back to the Hilltop,” said Joseph Emmons ’04, assistant vice president of alumni relations and engagement. “It’s a reminder that being an Anselmian doesn’t end at graduation, but that it stays with you for your life.”
The weekend began with a new tradition, a celebration under the tent which welcomed not only the reunion classes, but members of shoulder classes.
Saturday was a mix of old and new traditions – from the annual Christopher Q. Cabana ’89 Fun Run/Walk and the Military Tribute in the morning to the first Pub and Paint in the afternoon. Alumni also had the opportunity to tour the new Grappone Hall, and get a sneak peek of the Chapel Arts Center’s exhibit.
At a volunteer thank you reception, Mariel Capulli, assistant vice president of annual giving, announced that reunion classes had collectively raised $1,141,405 from more than 842 alumni.
Saturday ended with the induction of more than 100 members of the class of 1976 into the Order of Golden Anselmians. Other reunion classes gathered around campus to have dinner with their classmates, and then ended the night in the Pub. Sunday wrapped up the weekend with the Alumni Memorial Mass and a Champagne Brunch.
A special thank you to the Alumni Relations team, the Office of College Advancement, Dining Services, Physical Plant, Athletics, and the Office of College Communications and Marketing. The College also thanks the many reunion class volunteers who helped to make the event successful.
