An editorial addendum to my series of articles on vision 2030
An Editorial Addendum to my Series of Articles on Vision 2030 I write this article on behalf of all the Humanity-based and Liberal Arts majors on campus to express my concern with “Vision 2030: Ascent to the Hilltop.” I pledge myself to defend the Liberal Arts; not only at Saint Anselm College, but also at any place that offers the freedom of education from the darkness of ignorance. I did not know who I was, who I wanted to be before coming to this place.
10 days of darkness: A world without social media and news
Although the title is somewhat dramatic, I must admit that I found this experiment to be honestly challenging. And I do mean experiment…I was inspired by issue one of this semester’s Crier when I read Owen Bland’s article “The 22 Days you didn’t know you had,” where he broke down the amount of time we lose ourselves to the screen, and argued how phone overuse is harmful to humanity.
Conversatio readings to be examined ahead of fall semester
With the rise of “Vision 2030,” the Conversatio program falls within the umbrella of the changes occurring in the curriculum. The Conversatio program will undergo minor changes and readjustment to learning outcomes, along with a pilot program spearheaded by the Conversatio Committee. Both the Conversatio Committee and the Faculty Senate are discussing ways to improve the Conversatio program. Next year, the Conversatio program will be very recognizable to the current program.
Favazza expects new Dean of Students to be hired by May
As Dean Finn prepares to retire, Dr. Favazza has begun the search for her successor. The Saint Anselm community has been greatly affected and benefited from the work Dean Finn has done, and she will be missed by students and faculty alike. Conversations about Dean Finn’s retirement began in the fall of this school year, and the announcement was made in February. President Favazza began the search for a new dean that same month.
The hills were alive with the sounds of the Saint Anselm choir
“Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.” The Latin translation of Pitoni’s “Cantate Domino” echoed through the chambers of Engelberg Abbey in Switzerland as the Saint Anselm College Choir began their final performance during a well-traveled spring break. Music could be heard throughout the 1,000 year old church, which had been rebuilt in the nineteenth century after a severe fire damaged much of the Abbey.
Relay for Life marshal calls for more education, better-cancer treatment equality
Caroline Kiley ’24 will share her journey as a cancer survivor and advocate at Saint Anselm College during the 17th annual Sister Pauline Relay for Life. Kiley, a sociology and social work double major, is an active contributor to the community. She contributes to the community by working at the Melia Center, coordinating in FAPNO, manager of the Saint Raphael’s community center, and serves on the Relay for Life committee.
Favazza’s ‘Vision 2030’ plan for SAC entails academic reform, construction
College president Joseph Favazza has presented the college community with a plan for the college he calls “Vision 2030.” Favazza has begun explaining the goals of this initiative at Faculty Senate meetings and at a town hall event he hosted last month. The changes are inspired by an economic trend predicted to happen, starting in 2026, and a goal to improve St. A’s structure.
Ronelle Tsheila headlines annual MLK Dinner
The Martin Luther King Junior Dinner celebrated the life of a truly inspiring man and applauded the work of students and faculty in their efforts to improve equity and social justice on this campus. The main events of the night were student-spoken poems of black writers, awards to faculty and staff, and the main speaker of the night, Ronelle Tsheila. The theme of the night: Good Trouble (Dream Big, Act Bigger) The Dinner was held on January 30th in the NHIOP Auditorium.
Students debate environment, foreign affairs, economy, ballot security
The New Hampshire Institute of Politics held a formal debate between the College Republicans and Democrats for the first time. This unheard-of debate was an opportunity for the students to exercise their freedom of expression and share their political opinions. The Debate continues the effort of the NHIOP Ambassador Program to embrace and continue civil discourse. Saint Anselm College, with the NHIOP, provided its students with a unique opportunity for political engagement.
Governor Sununu on civic engagement and partisan divide
Every semester, the Kevin B. Harrington student ambassadors of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics present events entitled “Finding a Common Ground”. The objective, as the name implies, is to start a conversation and to encourage Saint Anselm College students to discuss issues impacting both local and national politics.

I laid in bed ruminating, as I was troubled to fall asleep. The flashing lights still burned my brain. I was late to practice, and it was my fault. When I closed my eyes, I could only see the two headlights, peaking their glow on the arc of the concrete hill. To try to pass the plow truck was stupid of me. I drove recklessly. My mother was rightfully angry. She said that a kid driving recklessly is how my grandfather died. I closed my eyes, headlights, two eyes, and headlights.
St. A’s ranked high in best value, nursing by US News and World Report
Saint Anselm College stands out in overall National Liberal Arts Colleges, Best Value Schools, Nursing and Social Mobility categories. Saint Anselm’s placement on the U.S. News and World Report of college rankings shows its growth and excellence as a school yet outlines a growing problem seen for the Nation’s college ranking system. This year, Saint Anselm ranked 89th out of 211 contenders for National Liberal Arts Colleges.
‘Loeb School’ to begin operating at NHIOP, relationship with Saint A’s Communication Dept. unclear and unspoken
Beginning this semester, the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications will begin running its curriculum, using the New Hampshire Institute of Politics building. This self-described “Strategic Alliance” combines the awareness, outreach, history, and curriculum of the NHIOP and the Loeb School. Loeb’s goal is to provide public and free classes in the areas of communication and civics. The Nackey S.
