Saint Vincent College

Saint Vincent College is a four-year Benedictine liberal arts college in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1846 by Boniface Wimmer, a monk from Bavaria, Germany. It was the first Benedictine monastery in the United States. It is operated by the Benedictine monks of Saint Vincent Archabbey.

Saint Vincent is organized into four schools; each includes a number of departments and major and minor programs offering undergraduate or graduate degrees, as well as special programs and public service outreach activities. Each school has its own Dean who works closely with students, faculty and prospective students and a Council of Advisors composed of representatives of business, industry, and academia to advise and direct policy and programs.

St. Vincent has intercollegiate teams in women's bowling, football, baseball, softball, women's volleyball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, track and tennis. The college is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

They compete in the Presidents' Athletic Conference, at the Division III level. The school also offers men's ice hockey and men's and women's rugby as a club sport. The college also has an equestrian team that competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. One Saint Vincent basketball player, Daniel Santiago, has played in the NBA.

The men's teams are known as the Bearcats and the women's like the Lady Bearcats. The athletic colours are green and gold.
