Reunion 2025
From June 6 -8, alumni will return to the Hilltop to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate. For the Class of 2020, it will be a chance to experience some traditions they missed. For the class of 1975, it is their time turn to be inducted into the Order of Golden Anselmians.
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.
