Dear Explorers and friends,
As we near the end of another academic year, La Salle is celebrating all we’ve accomplished.
On April 10, Explorers came together and raised a record-breaking $1.4 million on the 11 annual Day of Giving. Through more than 1,700 gifts from generous donors, we achieved the fourth-consecutive year in which La Salle’s Day of Giving surpassed the philanthropic threshold of $1 million. I want to thank you for your support of La Salle and helping us continue to provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for an ever-changing world.
Looking ahead, La Salle is only continuing to improve our student experience. Alongside Vice President of Athletics & Recreation and Director of Athletics Ashwin Puri, I announced the addition of four varsity sports programs for the 2025-26 school year. We will also grow our cheerleading and dance squads, as well as add a band program. These additions will enhance the on-campus La Salle experience and increase our opportunities for fan experience at athletic competitions.
And our Explorers want Philadelphia and the world to know the impact a La Salle education can have on our students. Through a fan-voted competition, we received gold in the colleges and universities category of The Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites competition.
As final exams and Commencement Weekend approach, I encourage you to learn more about the impact La Salle makes on its community.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Allen, Ph.D.
President
La Salle University
