Yes, Y’all— We’re Lasallian. Here’s What That Means: We have five core principles. We take them seriously, and they serve us well.
1. Respect for All Persons 2. Quality Education 3. Inclusive Community 4. Faith in the Presence of God 5. Concern for the Poor & Social Justice
Over 300 years ago, our founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, committed his life to educating all who wanted to learn. It’s what made him the patron saint of teachers, and it’s why we’re still proud to carry out his mission – all of it. So yeah, you’ll get a high quality education here, but you’ll also be welcomed into our diverse, inclusive, and supportive community no matter who you are, where you come from, or where you’re going.
Campus Ministry organizes regular Mass, social outings, and retreats, hosts an interfaith prayer room, and offers support and counseling for students of all faiths or even no faith at all. We really mean that point about being welcoming and inclusive.
September of Service is a student-led
And This is What It Looks Like...
