Facts

At Saint Anselm College, we live for a challenge. We stand up for our beliefs. We’ve got open minds, but we’re not afraid to open our mouths to speak out. We listen with our hearts and we lead with our minds. It’s an uncommon character that defi nes each of us. It drives us to achieve, enables us to make hard choices, and confi rms our faith in our convictions.

Academics

The biggest decisions we make in life come when we least expect them. It’s more than selecting one major over another. It’s more than finding the right career path to follow. It’s knowing that you’ve got the skills, talent, and preparation to handle anything that life has in store.

It starts with a comprehensive liberal arts education, where you’ll gain true insight into how the world works. And how it could work better. It’s exactly the kind of thing that leads to a better future. A better career. And a better life. So actually, it’s sort of the easy choice after all.

To an Anselmian, doing something worthwhile always trumps doing something easy.

THis is wHeRe THinGs GeT inTeResTinG.Through our liberal arts education, you’ll explore the humanities, the arts, and the social and natural sciences—some of the biggest developments in world culture over the last couple of millennia. But you’ll get even more than that—you’ll look at old thinking in new ways, drive big questions, address huge world issues, and gain true insight through a culture of refl ection.

THeRe’s one in eveRy clAssRoom. You know, the one person in class who knows the material inside and out, always has a lot to contribute to class, and knows everybody on campus by name, face, and complicated coff ee order? At Saint Anselm, those people are our professors. And in your four years here, they’re going to be a big part of your life. We don’t have any teaching assistants, only full faculty members, dedicated to your success. So if you’re looking for guidance, subject matter expertise, inspiration, or opportunities to explore further and learn more, just ask. That’s what they’re here for. But don’t be surprised if they ask you fi rst.

mAke youR voice HeARD. We believe that every voice in class (and outside of it, too) should be heard. But what we don’t believe in is having so many voices in class that nobody can hear anything. Classes are more personal because they’re smallish, with individual attention and easy access to everything. And when it’s time to raise your own voice, make sure you have something to say. We’re listening.

declare more than just a major. In our Core Curriculum, you’ll find new con-nections that expand your thinking beyond the boundaries of your major. It’s where disciplines such as science, art, literature, history, and theology come together to raise new questions, spark fresh debate, and inspire innovative thinking. And it takes objective listening, critical thinking, and an ability to effectively communicate your views. It’s the kind of thing that’ll take you far, no matter which direction you’re headed.

Advance your education. Looking for even more academic rigor? Strengthen your critical thinking skills and pursue faculty-led research projects through our Honors Program. You’ll take advanced core classes and special electives open only to honors students, and you’ll work closely with faculty advisors and other honors students to develop your thesis. And when you graduate with an honors degree, employers and graduate and professional schools will definitely take notice.

Find your direction. Maybe you haven’t decided on a major yet. Which is perfect, because you’ll build essential knowledge and skills that can be applied to any discipline. And you’ll also have access to the activities, classes, and people who can help you find your way. Even if you don’t know where you’re going yet, at Saint Anselm, you’ll find out how to get there.

“it is exciting for me to work with students as they are figuring out who they are and who they want to be in the world, and to see their growth from freshman year to when they are working in the field.”loretta Brady, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology and Fulbright scholar

Campus Life

10

At Saint Anselm College, all you’ll do is everything. With over 80 clubs and organizations, you’ll find opportunities to explore your interests and ignite your passion. With your fellow Anselmians, you’ll work together to create a better community, a better nation, and a better world.

You’ll have opportunities to lead, volunteer, sing together, play together, be a part of something bigger, have the experiences you never dreamed you’d have, and meet the people who are just as into this stuff as you are. It’s where you’ll get more into whatever you’re into. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Getting involved, staying active, and never ever being bored. Anselmian move, all the way.

dana center for humanities and the ArtsYou’ll come here for your humanities seminars, and you’ll want to stay here for the performances. Each year, we host classical theatre, contemporary dancers, concerts, and films. It’s also the venue for the Anselmian Abbey Players, our student theatre group. This is where the liberal arts meet the performing arts (and just about every other kind of arts except martial, usually).

A THiRsT FoR knowleDGe. A HunGeR FoR luncH. Our dining facilities and the food were recently named as one of the top 20 in the nation (number 10, actually). In addition to our main dining hall, featuring a grill, deli, salad bar, and fresh baked goods, we’ve got a smaller café, plus a coffee shop with a pub and patio.

This is the one place we know of where you can enjoy the legendary Saint A’s burger, Egg St. A’s, amazing food that’s named after another place (our Buffalo chicken calzone), and food that’s just called what it is (bacon).

Room (AnD neveR BoReD). You might be leaving home for the first time ever. And that’s perfect, because you won’t be alone. More than 90 percent of students live on campus. Which makes sense, because that’s where all the best stuff happens. You could live in a traditional residence hall, suite, townhouse, or apartment. It’s where you’ll live, sleep, and study, but it’s also where you’ll get together for barbecues, movies, workshops, contests, and other events. And the best thing about our residence halls? They’re full of Anselmians.

An oPen DooR Policy. You’ll notice one of the most Anselmian phenomena on campus before you enter a single building. Or, as you’re entering it, actually. Students here have a tendency to hold doors open for one another. Sure, it sounds like simple courtesy, but at Saint Anselm, it’s very real. Maybe it’s our Benedictine tradition of hospitality or our we’re-all-in-this-together spirit, but it’s a small thing that says big things about our character. Your Saint Anselm education is guaranteed to open doors.

Spiritual Life

Our Catholic Benedictine tradition of faith, reason, and community engagement is the foundation of campus life at Saint Anselm. And it comes to life every day through the resident Benedictine monks who form a community at Saint Anselm Abbey.

But you’ll also see it in the lives of the students who work together to create an environment where hard work pays off, where new paths are discovered, and where time-honored traditions are a part of life (and new traditions are created all the time).

Anselmians know where they’re going, but never forget where they’ve been.

mark on a 120-year

tradition of devotion?


haLLmarks of a BEnEDiCtinE EDuCation

The monastic community is guided by the principles set forth by Saint Benedict. These principles form the foundation of life in the monastery, and they have a profound influence on the Saint Anselm experience:

Love of Christ and neighbor

A life marked by prayer and spiritual reading

A commitment to the daily life of this place

A dedication to growth and transformation

A commitment to listening and taking action

A discipline of focusing on what matters

Accepting our place in the world with humility

A respect for the beauty and goodness of the world

Cultivating an openness to others

Calling for service to the common good and a respect for the individual

find out more about our Catholic Benedictine tradition at anselm.edu/spirituallife.


cAmPus minisTRyJust as the Abbey Church is the spiritual center of campus, Campus Ministry is the spiritual center of student life. You don’t have to be Catholic. It doesn’t matter if you’re part of another faith. And you’re welcome here if you don’t subscribe to any particular faith at all. Campus Ministry offers services and programs where you can explore different forms of prayer and styles of worship, and deepen your understanding of spirituality in your life.

RoAD FoR HoPeIt’s a modern-day pilgrimage, sponsored by Campus Ministry to provide funds for the needy and strengthen bonds in the community. In Road for Hope, 40 students spend a week walking 130 miles (from Lewiston, Maine to campus) to raise money and awareness. On this road, every footstep makes a difference.

cHAPel ART cenTeRThe Alva de Mars Megan Chapel Art Center is the former home of our chapel, and it still has the stunning stained glass windows and jaw-dropping vaulted ceiling to show for it. Now it’s the home of our permanent art collection and hosts various exhibitions throughout the year.

THe monks oF sAinT Anselm The Benedictine monks have been an integral part of the Saint Anselm education since day one. You may see them teaching your humanities and social science classes, in administrative positions, or at mass and prayer in the Abbey Church. And you’re just as likely to see them running on our campus jogging trails, screaming from the stands at a Hawks basketball game, or playing pub trivia at the Coffee Shop. So stop and say hi.

When you first arrive on campus, it might seem unusual to see men in black robes. But by the time you graduate, you won’t be able to imagine college life without them.

15

A life of service. At some colleges, spring break and winter break mean ski and beach vacations (and it can totally mean that here too if you’re interested). But many Anselmians choose to devote their off-campus time to serving in soup kitchens, caring for orphans, renovating homes, and tutoring children. These Service and Solidarity Missions, offered by Campus Ministry, take students to inner cities, Appalachia, Central America, the Gulf Coast, a Native American reservation in South Dakota, and anywhere else people are in need.

“Saint Benedict knew that true fulfillment and happiness in life comes from being at peace first with god, then with oneself, with others, and with the world. it’s about educating the whole person: very Benedictine and certainly very Anselmian.”Father Jonathan DeFelice, o.s.B., President, saint Anselm college

If you plan to continue your studies, you’ll find that your Saint Anselm degree can lead to some other equally impressive degrees. Recent Anselmians are enrolled in master’s and doctoral programs at universities such as Boston College, Georgetown Law, Notre Dame, Penn State, Princeton, and Yale.

It’s about more than what you’ll learn at Saint Anselm College. It’s about what you’ll do, and how you’ll build the skills and experience that employers are looking for. With a foundation in your liberal arts education and a focus in your course work for your major, these experiential learning opportunities will help you tie everything together and see how it works in the real world (which is where you’ll spend the rest of your life anyway).

You’ll go into the field for actual research. Into the workforce for real career experience. Into the world to see global culture as it lives and breathes. Wherever your Saint Anselm experience takes you, you’ll use your creativity and your adaptability to solve problems, communicate ideas, lead a team, and inspire others. And as you start to embark upon your life’s work, you’ll find that you’ve already begun.

it’s learning that’s more active. more engaging. And definitely more Anselmian.

exPeRience ReAl JoB exPeRience. Your liberal arts education will give you a solid foundation for your future career. Your specialized studies will give you the relevant knowledge you need. But to get a competitive edge, you need real job experience. An internship isn’t required here, but there’s no better way to explore an industry, see the inner workings of the workplace, and begin to build your professional network.

you’ll conduct real research (really).

At Saint Anselm College, we are building a culture that strives to learn more, to do more, and to discover more. And federally funded grants have enabled us to create a research-rich environment where you’ll be able to conduct real science, not canned experiments. As paid researchers in our labs, our students are advancing scientific thinking and pushing toward real breakthroughs. These are the big ideas that aren’t in the textbooks.

Not yet, anyway.

New Hampshire Institute of Politics and Political LibraryThere’s nothing we love more than a good debate. We welcome all viewpoints and all ways of thinking—just be prepared to defend them. This is where ideas are challenged, ideologies compete, and the democratic process is alive and well.

In the past 40 years, every single United States president, and nearly every candidate or presidential hopeful, has debated or spoken right here.


mARcH 5, 1960.Saint Anselm was in the national spotlight as the backdrop for President John F. Kennedy’s historic speech regarding America’s conduct at the beginnings of the Cold War. He spoke of American foreign policy toward African nations, noting that “we, too, founded a new nation on revolt from colonial rule.” When stopped by a young woman on our campus who informed him she was a Republican, he responded with the famous line, “I forgot my Nixon button.”

BRinG youR sAinT A-GAmeWhen you come to Saint Anselm, you come to play. Just in the last year or so, our athletes have earned All-Conference, All-Region, Rookie of the Year, and potential All-American recognition, and we continue to field more competitive teams every season. Which is perfect, because next season’s the one when you’ll be here.

ouR Hockey TRADiTionWe’ve got a reputation as a bit of a hockey school. But only because our Hawks have won seven Northeast Ten Conference championships. Our most recent was in 2012, where our players set conference records for most goals scored and largest margin of victory in a championship game.

AnselmiAn sPiRiTEach of us plays different sports, but we’re all on the same team. On our campus, whenever any Saint Anselm Hawk hits the field (or the ice, or the court, or the course, or the track, or whatever the place where you play ultimate Frisbee is called), it’s with a crowd full of Anselmians cheering them on. Some of us are fast. Some are strong. And some of us are just plain loud.

FinAnciAl AidStudents at Saint Anselm come from a wide variety of economic and social backgrounds, most of whom receive various types of financial assistance. Our financial aid program is designed to assist as many qualified students as possible, especially those who would be unable to attend Saint Anselm without such aid. Financial assistance, on the basis of merit and/or demonstrated need, is awarded as a supplement to the reasonable financial contribution made by you and your parents.

We place financial aid into the following four categories, comprising a typical financial aid package.

types oF FinAnciAl Aidmerit Aid in the form of presidential scholarships(upto$17,000)isofferedtofreshmen who display exemplary academic credentials. In addition, the college offers numerous merit scholarships which are fully described in our financial aid brochure. For further information on merit aid, contact the Office of Admission.

need-Based Aid covers all scholarship and grant money, including funds from Saint Anselm College as well as state and federal government grants and scholarships. This money is awarded as a gift and does not need to be repaid.

loan Aid is a common part of students’ financial aid packages. Student loans generally hold low interest rates with long-term repayment options. The Federal Stafford Loan and Perkins Student Loan are the two most common.

employment Aid is offered through both federal and college-sponsored programs, providing a wide range of on-campus work for students. Students normally work between six and 15 hours per week at college jobs on campus. Students are paid every other week and use the money for personal expenses.

How to Apply FoR FinAnciAl AidStudents who wish to be considered for financial assistance are required to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE online. As you complete each form, be sure to keep a copy for your own records. Saint Anselm must also receive signed copies of 2012 federal income tax returns and W-2s for both you and your parent(s). To make this process secure and user-friendly, Saint Anselm uses the College Board IDOC program. After completing the CSS Profile, the College Board IDOC program will email the tax submission instructions to the email used to register for the profile. The College Board will provide the Saint Anselm Office of Financial Aid with

the tax information in a secure, electronic format. If you do not receive the submission instructions from the College Board by the middle of February, please contact them at 305-829-9793.
