This Is Elms
Elms College is a modern part of a living tradition established over 300 years ago by the Sisters of St. Joseph — a bold group of devout, progressive changemakers. We are dedicated to providing a rigorous education animated by a community where all are welcome. Religious or non-religious, we’re all on a journey to understand and maneuver the bigger world. We believe education is not an end in itself, but a path to discovering what we can each contribute to that world, our neighborhood, and one another. Discover Your Purpose.
The White House and the U.S. Department of Education are inviting college campuses across the country to join us in our efforts to end the pandemic by signing up for the College Vaccine Campus Challenge. Elms College is proud to accept the challenge, and do everything we can to ensure our students, faculty, and staff are safe!
