The Albertus Magnus College Class of 2022 is the college’s largest first-year class since 2010. Students arrived on the New Haven campus on August 26 ready to soar.
On move in day, a long line of cars snaked from Prospect Street to Dominican Hall as Albertus welcomed 156 first-year students and 28 transfer students to the heart of campus. As parents, grandparents, and siblings poured out of packed cars, they were greeted by President Marc M. Camille and dozens of members of the Albertus family, easily identified by their Falcon Blue t-shirts proclaiming, “Welcome Home!”
Ninety percent of the class of 2022 come from Connecticut, with others from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Students will complete a three-day orientation; classes begin August 29.
Speaking to new students and their families, President Camille noted that "Degree completion not only needs to be the goal, it needs to be the expectation." At this moment in time, the Albertus experience, he said, “will be exciting, inspirational, stimulating and all about students.” He also thanked parents for entrusting their children to Albertus noting, “I am a college parent as well as a president, I understand exactly what you are feeling right now.”
