Meeting the President-elect

Daniel J. Allen, Ph.D., visited campus for the first time since being announced as La Salle’s President-elect. He spoke to media and met with students and faculty during his time at 20th and Olney.

Finding the best study spots

February is Library Lover’s Month. And Connelly Library has the cozy alcoves and key resources that are integral for independent research or collaboration.

A communal resource

Libraries provide more than a book collection. They are a throughway to education, technology, and community. That’s what inspired professor of economics Richard Mshomba, Ph.D., ’85, to open a library in Tanzania. Read his story.
