Celebrating Black history

Throughout February, there are multiple ways to get involved in and celebrate Black History Month—whether through on-campus programming or events throughout Philadelphia.  

Brushes with fame

From entertainers like Sammy Davis, Jr., and former U.S. president John F. Kennedy, to novelists, poets, and athletes, La Salle’s campus has welcomed an array of famous figures. Check out the University’s noteworthy guests, the latest in a feature series celebrating La Salle’s 160-year history. 

Life, leadership, and La Salle

Years ago, Brother Robert (Bob) Schieler, ’72, FSC, Ed.D., never would have envisioned himself leading the largest order of religious Brothers in the Catholic Church dedicated to education of himself as a leader. Read a Q&A with alumnus and Trustee Brother Bob about life as (and after) his global leadership role with the Brothers.
