A few things you’ll do as an Anselmian: Race a chariot At Floralia, the annual Roman Celebration hosted by the Classics Society. Speak the language On trips to Montreal and Québec City with the French Club. Save the planet By planning Earth Day activities with the Green Team. Show off your big brain At Pub Trivia Night, a weekly competition that pits student against professor against monk. Perform internationally On a European tour during spring break with the College Choir.
Break into the New York art scene On the Art Society’s bus trip to art museums and private artists’ studios in NYC. Take the stage By writing and directing your own original play with the Anselmian Abbey Players. Celebrate the Bard During a day of sonnet reading and cake eating for Shakespeare’s birthday (it’s April 26, but you probably already knew that). State your case At Debate Society tournaments all over the United States.
Stop the presses When you break a campus story for The Crier, our student newspaper. And, of course, party (like an Anselmian) At Party Your Classes Off (PYCO), planned by our Campus Activities Board. No big deal, just a day of free burgers, hot dogs, and fried dough, free tank tops and sunglasses, a carnival with inflatable games and balloon artists, live music under the stars, and Club SAC, an Anselmians-only dance party with DJ-supplied music, lights, and effects.
“Saint Anselm not only has an excellent nursing program, but it also has every club I could possibly want.” Hilary Gorgol Nursing Major
Being an Anselmian means not being afraid to try something new. Or something potentially weird. Or something potentially genius. Dana Center for Humanities and the Arts You’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).
