“Our nurses are truly stewards of their patients, caring for others above everything. With our holistic approach, and an immersion into the liberal arts and Benedictine values, we produce a different graduate, an Anselmian graduate.”

Sheila Evjy ’74, H.D. ’19 and her husband Jack Evjy, M.D. have committed their lives to being there for each other, their patients, and the future of medicine. At the heart of all of this is Saint Anselm College.

Saint Anselm College and Catholic Medical Center (CMC) have received $2 million in funding secured by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) to build a new innovative health care facility on Manchester’s West Side.

As the spring semester begins, Saint Anselm College will pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy with a series of events themed around the “Fierce Urgency of Now.”

Saint Anselm College announces the new Aaron Tolson Institute of Dance, providing incoming and current students with new academic and developmental opportunities.

The Anselmian Abbey Players have presented a couple of performances already this semester and look forward to offering their One-Act Plays Nov. 19 and 20.

Psychology majors studying abroad this semester share their experiences (Part 1 of a 3 part series)

Grace Wirein: Semester Abroad in Orvieto

My name is Grace Wirein and I am a sophomore/rising junior psychology major at Saint Anselm College, and I am from Dublin, New Hampshire. I’m studying for the semester in Orvieto, Italy through the Saint Anselm College Orvieto program. From the start of my time at college I knew I wanted to study abroad, but my country of choice remained undecided. After attending an info session for the Orvieto program and hearing about all the opportunities and great classes being offered, I knew I had to sign up. Italy had always been a country on my bucket list of destinations, and I was so happy to be given the chance to study and live in a different part of the world. The courses are Saint Anselm classes taught by Saint Anselm professors, and students live with peers from the college in apartments located in the city. One of the best things about living in Orvieto is the community and the friendly locals. Everything is in walking distance, and the streets and parks are beautiful. Every Thursday morning I go to the Farmer’s

Market in the Market Square right outside my apartment and buy fresh fruit and even clothes! And, the people are so friendly and welcoming, and are very patient with me even with the language barrier. I love going into my favorite café, getting one (sometimes two) espresso and just sitting/relaxing. This semester I am enrolled in Chiavi, Christian Spirituality, War and Culture in the Ancient World, and Italian Food Wine and Culture. Chiavi is a required course for everyone in the program where we participate in seminar on Mondays and then have field trip days on Wednesdays and Fridays. Chiavi also requires daily journal entries, so that ended up being a great way to document my travels and memories :). The field trips also correspond with what we’re learning in the classroom so it makes the lessons more engaging. One of my absolute favorite trips has been the pasta workshop where we got to spend the day at a local farm/restaurant, play with the cutest dogs, learn how to make pasta from scratch and prepare a spaghetti lunch.
