Campus Resources and Information Relating to Recent Executive Orders and Legislation 

In alignment with our global Lasallian Catholic heritage, we remain committed to providing an inclusive learning community with respect for all persons. We live our commitment out by working together as a community of students, faculty, and staff, to navigate these uncertain times. In light of heightened concerns about immigration, we provide information and resources within the mylasalle portal that are in place to support those in our community that may feel especially stressed and anxious during this time. 

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. Learn more about the recognitions taking place across the globe and throughout the country during the month of February, including:
