Albertus Magnus College

A conversation with a detective. A criminal profiling lesson. Time spent learning from public safety professionals across Connecticut. 👀🔎🐾

Those are just a few of the experiences Sarah Hoffman '27 reflects on in her latest blog after spending the summer interning with the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.

An honors student-athlete majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice, Sarah shares how the internship gave her a closer look at the field she hopes to enter, from learning how professionals approach investigations to hearing advice from those currently working in public safety.

🇻🇦 President Marc M. Camille takes us to Rome! 🇮🇹

This summer, President Camille traveled to the Eternal City as part of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities' Rome Seminar, joining Catholic college and university presidents from across the United States for a remarkable week of faith, history, and reflection.

Now, he's bringing that experience back to the Albertus community.

In Reflection One, "A View from St. Peter's," President Camille shares what it was like to stand among thousands of pilgrims in St. Peter's Square for Pope Leo XIV's Angelus address and how that powerful moment deepened his appreciation for Albertus' Dominican mission as we prepare to begin our second century.

This is the first in a special series exploring the people, places, and moments that made this journey so meaningful.

✨Mansion Monday: Nilan Hall ✨

Before it welcomed Albertus Magnus College students, Nilan Hall was known as Redholm, a Georgian estate built in 1909 by New Haven businessman Ezekiel Gilbert Stoddard.

The home was famous for its beautiful rose gardens, elegant architecture, and even a rope-lift elevator installed for Stoddard's wife. Later owned by the Ho**er family, the mansion became the setting for countless family memories, from movies filmed on the terrace to stories of a memorable root beer explosion in the basement during Prohibition.

Albertus purchased the estate in 1942 and renamed it Nilan Hall in honor of Bishop Nilan. It quickly became one of the College's signature residence halls and remains one of the most recognizable buildings on campus today.

Students who live in Nilan still enjoy many of its historic features, including the iconic spiral staircase and hidden doorways, along with beautiful outdoor spaces that continue to make this mansion a special place to call home.

Do you have a favorite memory of Nilan Hall? 🏘️ We'd love to hear it in the comments! 👇

Let’s be honest: everyone wants to earn more and build a better future for their family.
