A message from the Office of the President
We are just a few months removed from our 2024 undergraduate and graduate commencement ceremonies. I still feel an immense sense of pride when I recall looking out at our graduates, confident that La Salle has prepared them for the next stage in their lives. I invite you to learn more about these incredible students. Contained within the pages of this issue of La Salle Magazine, and even more online, are profiles from the Class of 2024 who exemplify what it means to be known for more.
