The Division of Student Development and Campus Life is committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all students, especially for our first-generation students. 

First-generation students often look to faculty and staff for mentorship, guidance, and inspiration. If you are a first-generation college graduate yourself, your journey and experience are invaluable assets to our community. You are a powerful role model! 

To better recognize and celebrate the first-generation individuals among our faculty and staff, and to ensure you are informed about the impactful initiatives and programs we offer for our first-gen students, we are launching a brief, voluntary, and confidential survey. Your participation will help us: 

• Acknowledge and celebrate the diverse experiences within the La Salle community.

• Inform you of upcoming events, resources, and mentorship opportunities for our first-gen student population.

• Connect you to a network of like-minded colleagues.

 Please take two minutes to complete this short survey.

Thank you for your partnership in making La Salle a place where all students can thrive.

Throughout the year, we celebrate the wide array of individuals, groups, and cultures at La Salle by calling to mind various holidays, observances, and commemorative days that provide our campus with an opportunity to learn and to become involved as they desire.
