== Lasallian Mission ==

La Salle's identity as a Lasallian institution shapes programs, culture, and community in ways that distinguish it from secular peers. The Christian Brothers' founding emphasis on education for working-class students continues in commitment to access, affordability, and support for first-generation college students. Lasallian values of faith, service, and community inform programs from service learning to campus ministry to academic support.<ref name="lasalle"/>

The university participates in networks of Lasallian institutions worldwide, connecting to nearly 1,000 educational institutions serving over one million students across the globe. This network provides opportunities for study, service, and professional development that extend beyond what a single institution could offer. La Salle's participation in Lasallian higher education connects Philadelphia students to traditions and resources spanning centuries and continents.<ref name="lasalle"/>
