All members of our community are called to maintain a heightened sensitivity to those marginalized within society as they practice civic engagement, provide leadership with a global perspective, and contribute to the common good</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">De La Salle is our patron saint and &nbsp;is the founder of a congregation of laymen whose sole ministry is education. &nbsp;He was proclaimed a saint in the Catholic Church in 1900 and named the patron of teachers in 1950. &nbsp;He was raised in Reims, France, a son of a privileged family who gave up his wealth and status to live with the poor. &nbsp;During his life, he established a network of gratuitous schools for poor boys. &nbsp;His writings have influenced educational practice, school management, and teacher preparation for more than 300 years.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Founded in 1863 in the Lower Kensington section of Philadelphia, the University is the largest and second oldest Lasallian college or university in the United States. &nbsp;At the time of its opening, it was Philadelphia’s only Catholic college. The college was initially established to serve the sons of immigrant populations in a religiously divided city, providing them with a quality education that helped them to assimilate into American society. &nbsp;The University has conferred more than 60,000 degrees. &nbsp;La Salle became fully co-educational in 1970 and achieved university status in 1984. &nbsp;It remains fully committed to the city and region with extensive community service and service learning initiatives.</span>
