Albertus Magnus College Celebrates 100 Years of Service During Centennial Year Service
Day
From urban gardens to local soup kitchens, the Albertus community mobilizes for a
day of hands-on service in honor of 100 years of Dominican education
New Haven, Conn., April 16, 2026
– As part of its historic Centennial celebration,
Albertus Magnus College
will hold its annual Service Day on April 16, 2026. This year’s event is especially
significant, marking 100 Years of Service since the College’s founding in 1925. This
year’s Centennial edition features a diverse array of site placements, including several
new initiatives and a focus on both on-campus and community-wide impact.
The Dominican tradition and the College’s mission are built upon the Four Pillars:
Study, Prayer, Community, and Service. Service Day provides a dedicated opportunity
for the Albertus family to live out these values by helping local neighbors grow and
prosper.

About Albertus Magnus College
Founded in 1925, Albertus is a coeducational Catholic College in the Dominican tradition.
Albertus' values- and liberal arts-based education is recognized by external rankings
such as US News & World Report, Money, and The New York Times, and has been named
a Top 10 Military Friendly School. For ten consecutive years, at least 95% of Albertus
graduates have attained employment or gone on to graduate studies within six months
of completing their degrees. The College has an enrollment of approximately 1,300
students across its traditional undergraduate, accelerated adult undergraduate, and
graduate program levels. Proud to enroll a student body where nearly half of its undergraduate
students receive Federal Pell Grants and are first-generation college goers, Albertus
is known for its innovative curricular offerings, recently launching new Bachelor's
degree programs in Nursing, including BSN and Connecticut's first LPN-to-BSN; General
Health Sciences; Interdisciplinary Studies; and Public Health.
Among its graduate offerings is the State of Connecticut's only Master of Arts in
Art Therapy and Counseling program, and it is just one of three schools to offer a
Master of Science in Human Services. In 2025-26, Albertus is celebrating its historic
100th Anniversary and completing implementation of the Albertus 2025: Lighting the
Way to a Second Century strategic plan, with a bold vision to "be a destination liberal
arts-based college, distinguished in its interdisciplinary and experiential approach
to education, rooted in Dominican values, that prepares students for lifelong civic
engagement and success." To learn more, please visit
