Annhurst College was a private Catholic college in South Woodstock, Connecticut, which operated from 1941 to 1980. The college's curriculum was career-focused.

History

{{refimprove|section|date=September 2018}}

Annhurst College was founded by Mother Louis du Sacré-Coeur, D.H.S., the Provincial of the American Province of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit in 1940 as an all women's college. The college was officially dedicated on September 23, 1941, as Ker-Anna Junior College[2] and changed its name two years later.[3] Annhurst was a women's college for most of its history, and began accepting male students in the fall of 1972.[4] At the time of its closing in May 1980,[5] the college had approximately 400 full-time students, of which 25 were male.

Notable faculty and alumni

There are many notable faculty from Annhurst College including the anthropologist, Wilson D. Wallis and his wife Ruth Sawtell Wallis. One of its notable former students is the fugitive Victor Manuel Gerena.

Later use of the campus

After Annhurst College closed in 1980, the rural {{convert|200|acre|km2|sing=on}} campus was sold to Data General Corporation, headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts.[6] The Data General Facilities group, led by Roland Quillia, converted the college to a Field Engineering training center. The converted Data General field engineering training center opened in November 1981.

In 1997, the campus was sold to Hyde School, based in Bath, Maine.

In 2017, the campus was purchased by the locally-based Woodstock Academy.[7]
