ON the HILLTOP
“Did You See the Video?” Saint Anselm’s Online Story When it comes to social media these days, it’s easy to get lost in all of the apps and websites vying for your attention. At Saint Anselm College, we have staked our own claims on the web’s most popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Flickr, Instagram, Vimeo, YouTube, Pinterest, Foursquare and others. But getting eyeballs on all of those platforms can be tricky. It’s even harder to promote them and their various content offerings in one place. Until now. Last summer, we launched social.anselm.edu, a social media hub for the college and our online community, where you can stay connected with us, catch up on all the latest photos and videos, and be a part of the online story that is shaping Saint Anselm College each and every day. The website pulls content from all of our social media accounts as well as from our campus blogs and our main news feed. Now, when someone says, “did you see the video they posted about Passages?” you can respond, “I sure did! Wish I were back on the Hilltop!”
New Coach, New Records Saint Anselm College’s field hockey team began the season Sept. 2 with a new coach and a senior player who already owned the college’s single-season and career records for goals, assists and points. Last year, Kristina Katsikis ’13 (right), a business major from Hanover, Mass., put together the greatest single season in program history. She was selected as an ECAC Division II All-Star and named to the All Northeast-10 First Team. She was only the Hawks’ second All Northeast-10 First Team selection, the other player being Kate (Maruszewski) Gaudreau ’03 in 2001, the year the program began. Katasikis extended her lead this season. Freshman Canada Stewart, a forensic science major from Lynnfield, Mass., set the program record for most goals scored in a season by a freshman (seven). The team ended the season in seventh place out of 11 teams. The new head coach, Carolyn King, comes from SUNY Cortland and replaced Maygan Cassarino. The team also wins kudos for compassion. Last year, they were one of 20 teams across the country to win a Division II Community Engagement Award of Excellence for their “Corners for the Cure” breast cancer fund raising initiative, which raised $10,000. This year, the team raised more than $4,000 on “Corners,” including a $200 donation from the Cawley Middle School field hockey team (Hooksett, N.H.), where Hawks captain Nicole Guimond ’13 volunteered during the season.
