Saint Anselm College is a private Benedictine liberal arts college mostly in Goffstown, New Hampshire. Founded in 1889, it is the third-oldest Catholic college in New England.[3] Named after Saint Anselm of Canterbury, the college continues to have a fully functioning and independent Benedictine abbey attached to it, Saint Anselm Abbey. As of 2017, its enrollment was approximately 2,000.
The college's academic curriculum requires several philosophy and theology courses as well as the "Conversatio" program.[4][5] Since the 1950s, the college has played a role in the "first in the nation" New Hampshire primary, and has served as a stage for many future presidents, candidates, and supporters.[6]

'Of course, politics, and politicians, can be divisive, so why would we offer a forum for such activity?' Saint Anselm College President Joseph Favazza asked in an open letter to students and faculty Monday. 'It is simple: We believe that honest and informed interchange of ideas and perspectives is the bedrock of an informed electorate, which is why we have enthusiastically and impartially hosted political events since the 1950s.'
