Tom Gola Arena in the Hayman Center COLLEEN M. HANYCZ, PH.D. President

On July 6, 2015, Colleen M. Hanycz, Ph.D., became ’s 29th President—the first layperson and first woman to serve as President in a non-interim capacity in La Salle’s 152-year history.

Throughout her accomplished career as an attorney, professor, and administrator, Hanycz has been an active proponent of Catholic education as a means to advance the common good and to celebrate the dignity of each person.

Hanycz previously served as Principal (a Canadian equivalent of President) of Brescia University College in London, Ontario, Canada. During her seven-year tenure at Brescia, a Catholic women’s college, Hanycz implemented a bold strategic plan that raised the college’s national profile; increased enrollment by 50 percent in the last five years; improved retention rates for talented students, faculty, and staff; doubled on-campus residence space; and developed innovative academic programs.

At Brescia, Hanycz also launched a rebranding initiative to capitalize on Brescia’s identity as Canada’s only women’s college and to place an emphasis on women’s leadership. As part of the Brescia Bold—Choose to Lead initiative, Brescia developed an academic program on leadership, instituted a public speaking contest for female high school seniors across Canada, and expanded its Girls LEAD leadership development camps to international locations in the Caribbean and Hong Kong.

A native of Toronto, Hanycz attended Senator O ’Connor College High School, which was then led by the Brothers of the Christian Schools—the same order that operates La Salle University. She has said that the Lasallian charism has had a deep influence on the values she applies to her life and her work, visible in her commitment to a transformational academic experience, authentic community, and service to the most vulnerable in society.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in history from St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto, Hanycz completed her law degree at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and her master’s and Ph.D. in law at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.

After working for several years as a securities and employment litigator at the Henan Blake, LLP in Toronto, Hanycz became assistant dean and associate professor of law at Osgoode Hall in 2003. Even during her tenure as Principal of Brescia, Hanycz carried on scholarly activities in the area of dispute resolution and continued to teach in Brescia’s leadership program and in the LL.M. program at Osgoode Hall.

Hanycz is a past chair of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities of Canada and has served as Vice Chair of the Board of the London Health Sciences Centre and on the Board of Director of St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ontario. She is also an elected member of the Public Accountants’ Council of Ontario, among various other community roles.

Hanycz was recognized for her community contributions and educational leadership as a recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012, and she was honored with the 2015 YMCA Women of Excellence Award.

Hanycz and her husband, Peter, have three children: a son, Erik, and daughters, Emily and Claire. INAUGURATION o f COLLEEN M. HANYCZ,TH.D.

The President •jhc PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION

The Presidential medallion and chain of office are an enduring emblem of La Salle University, a ceremonial symbol placed around the neck of the President by the Chair of the Board of Trustees at the time of installation. Handcrafted in gold, the Presidential medallion bears the official University coat of arms. Inscribed on the face of the medallion are La Salle University, Philadelphia, PA, the founding year (1863), and the motto Virtus et Scientia. The motto is translated “Virtue and Knowledge,” expressing an ideal, a program of life, the spirit of the De La Salle Christian Brothers who founded the University and those who sustain and constitute it today.

tie COAT ^ARMS

La Salle University’s coat of arms possesses a simple elegance. The coat of arms is appropriately divided into quarters by a cross, as befits a university in the Catholic tradition.

The first quarter displays a star that comes from the insignia of the De La Salle Christian Brothers, who founded La Salle College in 1863 together with Bishop (later Archbishop) James F. Wood of Philadelphia. The Founder of the Christian Brothers, St. John Baptist de La Salle, exhorted his followers to be people of Faith. The Spirit of Faith, symbolized by a star, is one of the principal hallmarks of the Brothers. In his meditation for the feast of the Epiphany (traditionally, 12 days after Christmas), St. John Baptist de La Salle found powerful symbolism in the star of Bethlehem in which the magi had put so much faith and trust as they searched for the infant Jesus. The star then identifies La Salle University as rooted in the educational tradition and mission of the Christian Brothers.

St. John Baptist de La Salle himself was born into a family of comfortable wealth in France in 1651. As biographies of him began to be developed in the 19th century, many of the authors mistakenly connected De La Salle with noble families of the same name. All of the noble families surnamed De La Salle utilized coats of arms, which portrayed three broken chevrons. La Salle University’s coat of arms retains a single broken chevron to remind the viewer of its name' sake. St. John Baptist De La Salle was canonized in 1900 and proclaimed as the patron saint of all teachers in 1950 by Pope Pius XII. The other element of the coat of arms is the plumed helmet, also used by De La Salle families.

The medallion, to be worn by the President at official functions, outwardly manifests in symbol the office she holds.

The Presidential medallion continues a tradition that symbolizes continuity between Presidents.

j f i e UNIVERSITY MACE

During medieval times, the academic mace or scepter became a symbol of university officials. Originally, a wooden staff or walking stick carried by the beadle (lay official of a church or synagogue who may usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a minor official who carries out various civil, educational, or ceremonial duties), it was used to lead the faculty in official cere- monies and was prominently displayed as a reminder for order during classes. By the 15th century, it had become symbolic of academic dignity.

The top section of the La Salle University mace contains a round double-sided me­ dallion that rests atop an oak walking stick. The medallion is the same as that worn by the President and is inscribed with the coat of arms of La Salle University. The medallion displays the name of the University, its location, the year of founding, and the institution’s motto—Virtus et Scientia.

The orb upon which the coat of arms rests appropriately symbolizes the influence of the De La Salle Christian Brothers worldwide and the importance of education in the modern universe.

The mace was “donated by the Class of 2001” and that inscription appears on the orb. NOTES an ACADEMIC DRESS

The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skullcap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as “academic.” European institm tions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress. However, when American colleges and universities adopted a system of academic apparel a half-century ago, a code was devised for all to follow.

Gowns—The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with the sleeve base hanging down in the traditional manner. The rear part of the sleeve’s oblong shape is square cut and the front part has an arc cut away. It may be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctor’s degree has belhshaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no trimmings, but the doctor’s may be faced on the front with black or colored velvet and with three bars of the same across the sleeves. If color is used, it is the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains, and it matches the edging or binding of the hood.

Hoods—Hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The binding or edging of the hood is the color indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains, except that the doctor’s cap may have its tassel of gold thread.

Caps—Mortarboards are generally worn as part of the academic costume. The long tassel fastened to the middle point of the cap’s top is either black or the color appropriate to the subject. It is customary for degree candidates to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them to the left when the degrees are awarded. This custom is in some respects a substitute for individual hooding. For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctors’ gowns, edgings of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows:

Agriculture—Maize

Arts, Letters, Humanities—White

Commerce, Accountancy, Business—Drab

Dentistry—Lilac

Economics—Copper Education—Light Blue

Engineering—Orange Fine Arts—Brown

Forestry—Russet Journalism—Crimson

Law—Purple

Library Science—Lemon

Nursing—Apr icot

Oratory (Speech)—Silver Gray

Pharmacy—Olive Green

Philosophy—Dark Blue

Physical Education—Sage Green Public Administration—Peacock Blue

Public Health—Salmon Pink

Social Work—Citron

Theology—Scarlet

Veterinary Science—Gray

In 1863, the Brothers of the Christian Schools established La Salle University in Philadelphia to carry out the legacy of their founder St. John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of teachers who established the order in 17th-century France.

One of the oldest independent Roman Catholic institutions in the nation, La Salle is committed to preparing students for a lifetime of personal develop­ ment, service, and success.

La Salle is located on a picturesque 133-acre campus in Northwest Philadelphia- just six miles from the cultural, social, and historic attractions of Center City. Filled with opportunities for academic and cultural exploration, community service, internships, and co-ops, the City of Philadelphia is La Salle University’s largest classroom.

The University also has two satellite locations: its Bucks County Center in Newtown, Pa., and its Montgomery County Center in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.

The total University student body of 5,700 students includes 4,000 undergraduate students and 1,700 graduate and doctoral students.

The University has more than 50 undergraduate majors within its three schools: Arts and Sciences, Business, and Nursing and Health Sciences. La Salle also of­ fers 26 graduate programs, 30 graduate and post-master’s certificates, and three doctoral programs in clinical psychology, nursing practice, and theology.

In addition to this wide array of programming, La Salle’s proximity to the nation’s fifth-largest metropolitan area unlocks the door to a world of learning opportunities beyond the bounds of its traditional classrooms. Experiential learning complements the University’s academic curriculum.

Over the last several years, La Salle has completed an extensive campus expansion and development initiative. In 2007, the University acquired the former site of Germantown Hospital, now known as West Campus, which houses classrooms, labs, offices, and gathering places for the School of Nursing and Health Sciences, as well as administrative offices. The Shoppes at La Salle, a retail center that includes The Fresh Grocer supermarket and Beneficial Bank, have opened to the community. Holroyd Flail, featuring the Hugh and Nancy Devlin Center for Science and Technology, reopened in fall 2009 after a renovation and expansion project. In 2014, La Salle began construction on a state-of-the-art School of Business building, slated to open in January 2016.

Academically, La Salle’s graduates have distinguished themselves in the nation’s best graduate, law, and medical schools, as well as in businesses and organi­ zations throughout the world. La Salle has graduated 70 students who have been named Fulbright Scholars and is one of 15 universities nationwide to be invited to participate in the Kemper Scholars Program. In addition, La Salle’s commitment to service has been recognized by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. La Salle was one of only 240 schools nationwide to earn this Community Engagement Classification distinction in 2015.

In the past 152 years, more than 50,000 Explorers—many of whom were first- generation college students—have embarked on a journey of intellectual and spiritual development that continued well beyond their years on campus.

La Salle alumni credit the University’s purposeful liberal arts approach with improving their thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, written, and oral commu­ nication skills, as well as with preparing them for lives of learning and spiritual development that are personally rewarding.

Inspired by faith, dedicated to service, and united in community, these alumni have applied the lessons they learned at La Salle to make their mark on the world as scholars and athletes, as volunteers and professionals, and most importantly, as leaders in a global community of Lasallians dedicated to helping others.
