Clear, compassionate communication strengthens the community.

Dr. David Livingston’s leadership emphasized transparency, connection, and care—ensuring students, faculty, and staff stayed informed and supported through moments of growth and challenge alike.

From sharing important updates to reinforcing the University’s mission and values, his communication helped build trust, foster community, and keep students at the center of every message.

Learning extends far beyond the classroom. 🌍📚

During a recent international learning experience in Turin, students enrolled in Sociology 290: Diversity and Social Justice and the interdisciplinary seminar Christians as the Romans Saw Them explored history, culture, and social justice firsthand while earning experiential learning credit.

A highlight of the trip was visiting Collegio San Giuseppe, a Lasallian school founded by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1875. Students connected with graduating seniors, toured the historic campus and rare book collection, and learned about the school's after-school program supporting recent immigrants. Experiences like these deepen students' understanding of global perspectives while strengthening the bonds of the international Lasallian community.
