After celebrating Martin Luther King Day, La Salle students resumed their studies on Tuesday, Jan. 16. Here’s a recap of what has been going on recently: 

 On the morning of Jan. 16, students woke up to a winter wonderland after inches of snow fell overnight. Per an alert that was sent out at 5:39 a.m., the university planned to operate normally, and students were advised to “exercise caution when traveling.” The next day, the university delayed opening until 10 a.m.. On Friday, Jan. 19, the university shifted to remote learning with no in-person instruction while essential workers were required to report to campus as scheduled. Many students were seen sledding and playing in the snow outside of St. Basil Court, St. Neumann and other various locations around the university buildings at the end of Week 1. 

On the afternoon of Jan. 23, La Salle’s Union Ballroom hosted the involvement fair. The involvement fair was a great chance for students to get informed about clubs, organizations and resources available on campus. From OLAS providing cups of mango and guava juices to Student Entrepreneurs giving out strong handshakes and a listening ear, representatives at each table were extremely welcoming to students who were interested in what they had to offer. 

The La Salle Grad Open House was held on Wednesday, Jan. 24. This event allowed undergraduates to find out how they could advance their goals in their future careers. 

Panhellenic recruitment kicked off this past weekend on Thursday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m.. The following events for the weekend contained significant moments for those seeking to join Greek life, as it provided opportunities for potential members to connect and develop relationships with girls from various sororities and find their ideal fit. 

Lastly, Late Night La Salle hosted two events this past weekend. They began with a game and pizza night on Friday, Jan. 26 in the Union Ballroom with a basketball shooting game, jenga, a raffle and more activities. The following night, LNL arranged mochi donuts and ice cream in the Union Food Court from 8-10 p.m.. Be sure to follow their new TikTok account @late.night.lasalle to be in the loop with all upcoming events and see behind the scenes of these wonderful events being put together! 

The La Salle Collegian team wishes you all the best for a successful spring semester. Go Explorers!
