Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce Honors Albertus Magnus College During Centennial
Year with Corporate Heritage Award
New England’s First Catholic Residential Liberal Arts College for Women Celebrates
a Century of Values-Based Education and Innovation, Moves Boldly into its Second Century
New Haven, Conn., March 27, 2026
–
Albertus Magnus College
is proud to announce it has been named the recipient of the 2026 Corporate Heritage
Award by the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented during
the Chamber’s 232nd Annual Meeting and Business Leadership Awards on Wednesday, March
25, 2026, at the Omni New Haven Hotel.
The Corporate Heritage Award recognizes distinguished businesses and institutions
that have successfully operated and contributed to the regional community for over
100 years. Founded in 1925 by the Dominican Sisters as New England’s first Catholic
residential liberal arts college for women, Albertus Magnus College is currently celebrating
its 100th Anniversary. Today, as a fully coeducational institution, the College remains
a cornerstone of the Greater New Haven region, dedicated to providing its excellent,
values-based education to approximately 1,300 traditional and adult learners.
“Receiving the Corporate Heritage Award from the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce
is a profound honor and is affirming as we celebrate the College’s Centennial,” said
Albertus President, Dr. Marc M. Camille. “For a century, Albertus has been an enduring
presence in Greater New Haven, and with more than ninety percent of our students enrolling
from Connecticut, and more than eighty-five percent remaining in the state after graduation,
we continue to be committed to our region's economic prosperity, a beacon of education
opportunity for traditional and adult learners. The Chamber of Commerce's recognition
is a testament to our founding and continuing sponsors, the Dominican Sisters of Peace,
fulfilling their vision and continuing their pioneering spirit.”
“Albertus Magnus College is a vital member of our business community. The College’s
leadership is involved and engaged, connecting employers with the campus and ensuring
that Albertus students are ready for the workforce,” said Garrett Sheehan, President
and CEO, Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce. “It is our honor to recognize the
College’s 100th Anniversary and to be a part of the celebration. We are grateful
for all that President Marc Camille and his team do for this community.”
Albertus Magnus College continues to be a leader in workforce development and educational
innovation. The College recently introduced a new Bachelor’s program in Nursing and
Connecticut’s first LPN-to-BSN program to address the state's urgent need for healthcare
professionals. Furthermore, in fall 2026, Albertus will become the first college in
New England to implement cutting-edge virtual reality technology through a partnership
with Dreamscape Learn, offering students immersive experiential learning opportunities.
With a consistent track record of success, 95% of Albertus graduates secure employment
or enter graduate studies within six months of completion. As the College reflects
on its legacy, it continues to execute its "Albertus 2025: Lighting the Way to a Second
Century" strategic plan, aiming to be a premier destination for interdisciplinary
learning and civic engagement.
