Hilbert College
Hilbert College is a private, Catholic college founded in 1957 by Sr. Edwina Bogel of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph (FSSJ) in response to the need for a school for training teachers. Named after Mother Colette Hilbert, the foundress of the FSSJ, the college today is a co-educational, four-year liberal arts learning institution in the Franciscan tradition and located in Hamburg, just a few minutes away from Buffalo, New York.
