We have over 40 campus clubs and organizations that as much as 80% of our students participate in.

Any student organization seeking recognition and funding from the Saint Anselm Student Government Association must have an advisor. This person must be a member of the College faculty or staff and agree to act in this role on a volunteer basis. The organization cannot participate in and/or conduct activities without the guidance of an advisor.

Responsibilities of student club and organization advisors

1. Offer guidance by reviewing goals, objectives, and the progress of the organization.
2. Act as a resource person for the organization. Advisors may have access to internal and external networks and information which may be helpful to student groups.
3. Provide continuity from year to year. As the leadership of the organization changes, new leaders are often left without a sense of organizational history. Advisors provide for a smoother leadership transition.
4. Offer experience and/or expertise in a particular area related to the group's purpose.
5. Translate college policy for the organization when issues arise.
6. Support, motivate, and encourage the organization's leaders and members as they take risks and face challenges.
7. Develop and refine leadership skills with the organization's members.

The purpose of the Student Government Association shall be to promote the best interests of the student body of Saint Anselm College, to foster a recognition of the rights of the student body, to promote active student participation in the operation of Saint Anselm College, and to program social, cultural and educational activities for the enjoyment of the Saint Anselm College community

Saint Anselm College club sport teams are student-run organizations, recognized by the Student Government Association (SGA) and overseen by the SGA Secretary of Club Affairs with advisement from the Office of Student Engagement and Leadership Programs.

Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional Research (OIR) provides reliable, accurate, and timely information to college constituents in support of strategic planning and decision-making. This includes analysis of historical and current information about the college, comparisons with other institutions, and data from surveys and outcome assessments. OIR serves as a repository for institutional data and responds to internal and external data requests and reporting requirements. OIR reports directly to the college's executive vice president.
