Together
for the future of La Salle. The La Salle community has
come together behind two projects designed to sustain
the university in the new century First: fund construction
of a new science and technology facility commensurate
with the people and programs La Salle has in place already.
The Second: strengthen the university's endowment. Brother
Michael McGinniss, President of La Salle University, says
, "To be a great University, we need the entire university
community working together, Shoulder to Shoulder. That's
my goal."

A
special kind of learning takes place at La Salle—learning
that is collaborative, that teaches cooperation, that
produces leaders who exemplify the values of working
together to make the world a better place. A different
kind of leadership. Every school talks about graduating
leaders. La Salle teaches character, a trait increasingly
sought after among today’s decision makers. “It’s
an attitude that you are here on Earth to help make
the world a better place to live,” says Jim Lynch,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Lasallian tradition
teaches collaboration, cooperation, and leading by listening.
According to Brother Michael, “La Salle graduates
are engaging, an important characteristic in a leader
because it’s enabling. That is what we try to instill.”
n The University has helped many reach higher goals.
“La Salle provides a door of opportunity,
a gateway to a successful future to many who may never
have envisioned such a life,” according to Leon
Ellerson, member of the Board of Trustees.

board member Maria Tucker Cusic, "La Salle is like
family --I've benefitted from my education and my continued
association with the University. And now I'm happy to
give back." Future Generations: ensuring that a
Christian Brothers’
education
is accessible to students for generations to come is
a challenge and an opportunity for every member of the
La Salle community. It is also one of the strongest
statements of commitment to the value of the Lasallian
tradition. Giving back can take several forms: alumni
networking, financial support, campus involvement. La
Salle
University is "part of the fabric of Philadelphia,”
says Tony Hayden. "Schools like La Salle are essential."
