Getting to know the new Explorers

La Salle’s first-year and transfer students comprise the University’s first enrollment increase since 2018. And across all programs, nearly 1,000 new students arrived on campus this week. Learn more about the newest Explorers.

New in ’22

In all, nearly 900 students settled into La Salle’s residence halls during Move-In Weekend. They carried mini-fridges and televisions. They exchanged hugs and handshakes. And they talked about their dreams for life at La Salle—and beyond.

Excitement was in the air, starting with move-in at St. Basil Court and Convocation at the arena. The fun swelled with a women’s soccer victory at McCarthy Stadium and a late-night dance party on Hansen Quad. Watch a recap of Thursday’s festivities.

The new year has begun

Students were all smiles as they walked across campus and through Hansen Quad on their way to classes Monday, which marked the official start of the fall semester.
