Two Saugus students Graduate Saint Anselm College

  MANCHESTER, NH (June 21, 2022) – Saint Anselm College has released the list of 540 graduates for the 2021-2022 school year. Members of the class of 2022 were celebrated for academic achievement and for overcoming the challenges brought on by the pandemic during the 129th Commencement Exercises. The college’s first graduate school class also received diplomas that day, with 22 students completing a 4+1 Master of Arts in Criminal Justice program.

  The following Saugus students graduated Saturday, May 21: Christian Myers, Bachelor of Arts, business and marketing and Rachel Nazzaro, Bachelor of Science, nursing.

  During the commencement exercises speaker and honorary degree recipient Fr. Columba Stewart, O.S.B., addressed the members of the class of 2022 focusing on the themes of courage, providence, friendship and gratitude. He shared the story of his journey from an undergraduate at Harvard University who thought his path would lead him to graduate school but instead led him to a monastic life in Minnesota and a vocation “partnering with communities around the world to preserve their handwritten heritage, their manuscripts.”

  College President Joseph A. Favazza, Ph.D., shared with the class what it means to be a graduate of Saint Anselm College. “You commence from us today as Anselmians and we are so, so proud of you.” “But never forget that what you have been given is not a private good – rather, it is to seek and to serve the common good as an active member of your community. ”Volunteer, vote, be a generous donor to worthy causes, read broadly, choose social media wisely, and be an activist for equality and justice. Push limits even when you are unsure and uncomfortable instead of settling for the comfortable cave of certainty.”
