Brother Don Alger, FSC

Graduated from La Salle with an M.A. in Secondary Education, 2007.

Positions at La Salle:

Started in Spring 2017 as an adjunct Lecturer covering Chemistry for the Health Sciences, General Chemistry I – II, and Anatomy & Physiology I – II labs.

Hired as full-time Instructor serving the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2022

My favorite memory of La Salle:

I got to know Brother Presidents Daniel Burke, Joseph Burke, and Patrick Ellis when they were still living.  I enjoyed knowing (while living) Brothers Lawrence Colhocker, Arthur Bangs, Chip Echelmeier, Joseph Keenan, Thomas McPhillips, Emery Mollenhauer, and Edward Sheehy.  Each of these men was a bright light on the campus, and I drew from their light to imbue my own evolving persona as a Christian Brother myself.

Something unique about me which would NOT appear on a standard resume:

When given a choice, I will choose Filipino food over most other flavors.
