Well, that went by fast!!

Last Friday, we held our final forum of the semester with Dr. Jenne Powers from the ARC and our 2024-2025 Grappone Fellow Mary Morkunas ‘26.

[Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute at SAC @STAHumanities]

Mary and Dr. Powers brought their knowledge of education, history, and psychology to a discussion about whether or not it’s harder to be a young person today than it was in the past.

Last week, to close out our Shakespearean birthday celebrations, we welcomed Theatre KAPOW and playwright Scott Carter to the GHI for a performance of his new play “I, Will!”

The Grappone Humanities Institute mourns the loss of Pope Francis, a servant of peace who reminded us of our shared humanity through his selfless leadership.

We will work to be an example of his legacy at Saint Anselm College and beyond.

This Friday marks the 175th Come Friday Forum... Can you believe it?!

Friday, April 11 @ 12:30 in the GHI
"Were the middle ages as medieval as we tend to think?"

Led by Professor Henley of the English and Communication Department📚

[Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute at SAC @STAHumanities]

We learned that savoring the small moments, reflecting on what you’re grateful for, and being present can help work towards feeling happier.

Today we asked the question “what is happiness?” and there sure was a lot of it present in the GHI! ☀️

Alumna Susan McKeown ‘70 and Evangeline Rockwell ‘25 led a discussion about how, and if, we can create happiness in our lives, drawing on research and psychological studies.

How we decide to act in moments of crisis defines who we are.

This is the sentiment alum and award-winning academic Dr. Vincent Colapietro '73 shared with guests during his Tuesday evening presentation.

@SaintAnselm

[Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute at SAC @STAHumanities]

Dr. Colapietro's talk focused on the necessity of the Humanities, the importance of community, and the true nature of politics.
