Black Tie
The seal of Albertus Magnus College is the coat of arms of the House of Bollstadt, to which Albertus namesake Saint Albert the Great belonged, superimposed upon the black and white seal and cross of the Dominican Order. Within the seal is a silver horn, the original meaning of which has been lost, but may be interpreted as the horn of plenty filled with the treasures of knowledge, which are the fruit of commitment to the academic life. Saint Albert was known as a scientist, philosopher, astrologer, theologian, spiritual writer, ecumenist, and diplomat. His wide ranging interests and knowledge were symbolic of the liberal arts-based education that defines Albertus Magnus College. The silver horn is a symbol of the breadth of experience and knowledge gained by every Albertus student across the decades.

The Silver Horn Scholarship Fund
For 93 years, Albertus Magnus College has been transforming and empowering lives through its Catholic and Dominican values- and liberal-arts based education. Originally educating women only, today’s Albertus Magnus College educates a diverse, coeducational student body. Today’s Albertus students mirror our world, present and future: they are more than half students of color; nearly forty percent first generation; and more than half receive Federal Pell Grants, coming from the lowest socioeconomic backgrounds. Regardless of changed student body characteristics, what hasn’t changed are the foundational Catholic and Dominican pillars that uphold an Albertus Magnus College education: study, prayer, community, and service. And like the first women who graduated with Albertus degrees, those who earn their Albertus degrees today continue to be prepared for lives of meaningful career success and civic engagement. The magnitude of Albertus Magnus College impact and transformation has even more potential for the future. With the creation of The Silver Horn Scholarship Fund, the commitment to the success of each student who enrolls at Albertus will be strengthened, providing essential financial support for enrolled students who face financial hardship, to stay on track to graduate with their degrees in four years. Recipients of The Silver Horn Scholarship Fund will be enrolled Albertus students with demonstrated financial hardship, but also are in good academic standing and contributing positively to the life of their classmates and the College. The value of a college degree is only realized through degree completion. At Albertus Magnus College, starting college isn’t good enough. Excellence through degree completion is our commitment and our shared success. The Silver Horn Fund will strengthen our commitment to that success, degree completion success, for every student who enrolls at Albertus Magnus College.
