To be Business Manager Jonathan Mains Lasallian, using the language of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, is to demonstrate concern for the poor and social justice, to have respect for all [email protected] people, to foster an inclusive community and have faith in the presence of God and to work to provide access to a quality education for all. These five Head Copy Editor Karen Kerwick points are often represented as a star in Lasallian contexts.

One Rita Offutt does not need to be a Christian Brother to be a Lasallian educator or live out the mission. But it is important that we remember the mission and heritage [email protected] of De La Salle, as it shapes our University in ways many of us might not realize. La Salle has an incredibly diverse student body, in many senses of the Commentary Editors Alina Snopkowski word, including racial and economic diversity – especially when La Salle is [email protected] compared to other private Catholic institutions in our region. This diversity is important, and they may sometimes be taken for granted. But it is crucial Jackie Anderson that we have a diverse environment to learn, because people can’t learn and grow when they’re situated in their comfort zone and surrounded by others [email protected] who look and sound like them. And the affordability of La Salle, along with the abundance of aid and support, is just a part of the Lasallian commitment Politics Editor Thomas Cahalan to ensuring that everyone can have access to an education. It’s okay if you’re not there yet or if it takes time for you to come to the [email protected] heritage of our school; everyone finds the Lasallian mission in their own way – even De La Salle himself. De La Salle didn’t set out to start the Brothers Features Editors Julie Wood of the Christian Schools, and he certainly never envisioned an institute that [email protected] would span six continents and impact the lives of millions of students today, and many more that have gone past. De La Salle said, “God, who guides Elizabeth Rafter all things with wisdom and serenity and whose way it is not to force the inclinations of persons, willed to commit me entirely to the development of [email protected] the schools. He did this in an imperceptible manner and over a long period of time, so that one commitment led to another in a way that I did not foresee A & E Editors Jakob Eiseman in the beginning.” De La Salle simply started out by supporting the vision of another Frenchman in starting a school for young boys. And little by little he [email protected] became more involved, first by recruiting other men to teach. Then by inviting the men, who were a rag tag bunch at best, to live with him. Eventually, De Jackie Anderson La Salle found himself forfeiting his inherited wealth and devoting his entire [email protected] life to the creation of schools and the education of students.

[email protected] Sports Editor Steven Silvestro Intellectually engage on campus Last week, we encouraged you all to engage in the upcoming elections; [email protected] this week, we urge you to engage with the intellectual life at La Salle — to engage with the idea of being more Lasallian. We are currently in the midst of the Humanities Colloquium, a series of events which showcase the work of faculty in the humanities. On Monday, professor of global languages, Staff and Copy Editors literatures and perspectives Vincent Kling gave a wonderfully engaging talk on literary translation. While he was surrounded by supportive faculty, there were very few student ears. In many ways, this situation is no outlier. Andrew Banecker Sarah Hanlon Anthony Pantalone The only pity about these intellectual events is the attendance, or lack thereof. Unfortunately, not enough students appreciate these opportunities. Nikoleta Barboni Thomas Harris Rayna Patel This indifference simply cannot stem from ignorance. With exceptions, the Bianca Brzezicki Nolen Kelly Rachael Riccio facilitators of the intellectual events on campus collaborate with student organizations, send several emails to department heads and advertise in Chris Camacho Sean Kelly Bradley Schmidt virtually every hallway that a La Salle student encounters. The lack of student engagement at the University does not only result in missed opportunities for Sean Cornely Mary Kraus Jamie Smith students, but it also reflects poorly on the University.
