•    What kinds of things are most important to me?

•    Who are the Benedictines?

•    What kinds of friends and relationships do I want in college?

•    How can I grow spiritually in college?

•    How can I get involved on campus in a way that is meaningful to me?

Anselmian 360 will offer you opportunities to:

  • Prepare for your college experience
  • Determine new ways to capitalize on your college experience
  • Meet new friends and mentors

Students who register for Anselmian 360 will have access to online talks from upperclassmen as well as in person “A360 Community Nights” to follow up on the talks, build community, and meet your peers and mentors. After the talks and community night, A360 participants will be matched with an A360 mentor who will be available throughout your first year to be a friend and help guide you and answer any questions that may come up.
