La Salle University, dedicated in the traditions of the Christian Brothers to excellence in teaching and to concern for both ultimate values and for the individual values of its students, is a private Roman Catholic University committed to providing a liberal education of both general and specialized studies. As a Catholic university, La Salle strives to offer, through effective teaching, quality

education founded on the idea that one’s intellectual and spiritual development go hand in hand, complementing and fulfilling each other. The University has, as its basic purpose, the free search for truth by teaching its students the basic skills, knowledge, and values that they will need for a life of human dignity. The programs of the University also aim at preparing students for informed service and progressive leadership in their communities and to fulfilling the immediate and final goals of their lives.

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous, dedicated alumnus, La Salle University has received a $750,000 gift that will advance student success programs and scholarships 💙💛

This gift is an investment in Explorers and will not only create an endowed scholarship fund, but also, a Career Launch Fund supporting mentoring and internships. School of Business students will also benefit from The Practitioner Fellows Program in Accounting where they will gain real-world exposure to their future professions through the guidance of accomplished business professionals.

By serving as more than financial support, this gift is another example of possibility, opportunity, and the enduring impact of a Lasallian education.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality.

At La Salle University, we honor the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans whose stories continue to shape our nation and our community. Guided by our Lasallian mission, we remain committed to fostering a culture of respect, inclusion, and opportunity for all.

As we reflect on the significance of this day, may we continue the work of building a more just and compassionate world through education, service, and community

Coming to Philadelphia this summer for international soccer? The midsummer classic? Maybe want to celebrate our 250th birthday in the birthplace of America?

Maybe make a visit to La Salle part of your journey.

You will see us on Billboards and screens in the Fashion District, along the I-95 corridor, and other fun places, having some fun and spreading the word about 20th and Olney.

From record enrollment growth and academic innovation to student success and a renewed sense of pride across our community, there is a lot happening at La Salle—and we want the world to know it.

And if you see us, snap a photo with one and tag La Salle. Maybe we will send you some SWAG to represent Explorer Pride when you go back home.
