We are glad to welcome you and we want to be sure you are aware of this Student Handbook, your guide to student life at Lewis University. The Student Handbook contains information on various aspects of University life including academic support services, University policies, campus services, student organizations and the residence life program. It provides information to best support you during your time as a Lewis University student. As patron saint of educators and founder of the De La Salle Christian Brothers, Saint John Baptist de La Salle dedicated his life to expressing genuine care and concern for the educational and social well- being of students. Our students consistently experience the feeling of being individually cared for here at Lewis University. Lewis University values learning that occurs inside and outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged to fully experience the University and all of its programs and activities to develop healthy relationships, leadership skills and abilities. The University provides supportive programs for students in a diverse and inclusive setting to join a safe, respectful community that responds to the needs of others.

These moments allow us the opportunity to pause, understand, learn and engage, in a manner consistent with our Lasallian values. Therefore, in reflecting on De La Salle’s 300 plus year legacy of revolutionizing education, persevering through tribulations, and all while holding the student at the center of his mission. I too can see and feel those same tenets here in the College of Business, reflecting our Lasallian namesake through the following themes: Innovative; Resilience; and Compassion. Our Innovative successes over the past year have included launching an incubator to major curriculum revisions to our MS in Project Management Program. During the fall semester, as a result of joint partnership with the Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone and Lewis University, the College of Business launched the Innovation Hub as a real world incubator and resource for faculty, students and the community alike.
