La Salle University
Office of the President
Daniel J. Allen, Ph.D.
President Allen began his tenure as La Salle University’s 30th President on April 18, 2022.
Strategic Plan: Ascend 2023-2028
In May 2023, the Board of Trustees approved the university’s new strategic plan, Ascend 2023-2028. The six pillars in the plan will set La Salle on the path to be the leading Lasallian educational institution, rooted in the liberal arts and aligned with emerging industries, that prepares students for the challenges and complexities of living and working in a diverse democracy and global society.
I am inspired every day by the contributions our students make to the community. I am energized by how our University—as well as others—are reinventing themselves during challenging times to ensure that future generations can receive a high-quality education that prepares them for a lifetime of success and opportunities.
La Salle voted the best of Philadelphia three categories in the Metro Philly’s Best 2024.
