Celebrating 50 Years of Women’s Education
This year marks 50 years of women’s education and achievements at Saint Anselm College. To commemorate this extraordinary milestone, the college is celebrating with events and programs centered around the women of the past and present who have made Saint Anselm College what it is today.
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."

How it Works
Bring something to read (fiction, non-fiction, textbook, magazine, whatever), or pick something from Geisel's collections. We'll read for a hour or so, silently, as a group in the Reading Room. After one hour you will be invited to share what you've read with the person/s sitting next to you.
Take advantage of this time to read, learn from others, and find out about other great books to read.
Coffee, tea, and cocoa will be provided.
No RSVP required. Attend when you can.

Join us on April 24th for “Leadership, the Social Compact, and the Future of Work,” a conversation with national bestselling author James Rhee and Amanda Grappone. This event is hosted in partnership with the Center for Ethics in Society and the Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute.
In kindergarten, James Rhee received a toy red helicopter in gratitude for a simple act of generosity—sharing his lunch. Decades later, the lesson from that small gift led him to develop a human-centered framework for business and personal achievement that helped him overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles and find unprecedented success.
Together, Grappone and Rhee will discuss key points from his book and share meaningful ways that leadership and kindness can impact the business world.
