30th Anniversary, Connelly Library, 1988

“The academic library has traditionally been the space where tradition meets innovation. The Connelly Library houses nationally regarded archives and special collections, a state-of-the-art makerspace, and almost every form of information or technology in between. The tools may change, but the goal of teaching La Salle’s Explorers how to navigate a chaotic landscape of information is no less relevant today than it was 155 years ago.”– Sarah Clark, Ph.D., MLIS, Dean & University Librarian

25th Anniversary, BUSCA Program, 1993

“BUSCA (Bilingual Undergraduate Studies for Collegiate Advancement) is one of the programs most aligned with the University’s mission because we are not only providing the opportunity for Hispanic English Language Learners to get an associate degree, but we are also creating a pathway for first-generation students who otherwise would not be able to attend college to earn a bachelor’s degree at La Salle… Like so many students at La Salle, they just need someone to see their potential and to give them a chance… It is amazing to see them succeed.”– Joanne Woods, M.S.Ed., M.A., Program Director
