The conversation was moderated by politics professor Peter B. Josephson. 7: Elizabeth Driscoll ’25 made Saint Anselm history twice this year. The first Hawk to be named a First-Team All-American by the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA), the senior also was named the 2025 IWLCA Division II Goalkeeper of the Year. 8: The Abbey Players brought 1950s New York City to life in their spring musical performance of Guys and Dolls. 9: The Center for Ethics in Society hosted a thought-provoking discussion titled The Good Life at Stake: Democracy vs. Authoritarianism, led by Henry Thomson, Ph.D., of Arizona State University. 10: Fr. Iain MacLellan, O.S.B. ’78, director of the Chapel Art Center, takes a moment with treasured senior gallery attendants at this spring’s end-of-year celebration. These very capable and devoted students will be sorely missed, as they move on to great careers in a whole variety of disciplines. 11: Fr. Stephen Lawson, O.S.B. ’10, talked with students during an ice cream social held in celebration of the Feast of Saint Anselm.
