Experience Lasell College

Couldn't make it to Open House.
Haven’t visited campus yet.

Here’s what you’ve been missing…

When the class of 2013 (the largest in the College’s history) arrived on campus this year, they discovered that it was another busy summer at Lasell.

Many of the changes are noticeable as you explore campus, such the relocation of faculty and staff offices; others may be less obvious, such as the completion of wireless technology in our residences.

Did you know during the summer of 2009 Lasell:

  • Completed major renovations to Spence House

  • Added 3 new full-time faculty members, one in English, Hospitality and Event Management, and Public Relations

  • Opened an additional fitness facility in McClelland Hall
  • Offered Indoor Track and Field, Lasell’s 15 NCAA Division III Varsity Athletic Program

  • Launched a new environmentally focused international service learning program in Ecuador

  • Invested in additional computers in the library; new Macs in the Doran Lab, including new Maya software – a powerful integrated 3D modeling, animation, visual effects, and rendering system; new PCs in the Business Lab; and computers in the lobby of Wolfe Hall

  • Hired a new Coordinator of International Student Services

And, perhaps the most dramatic change was the completion and transformation of the eastern end of the campus, with the opening of our two newest residence halls – East and West. These two new halls, coupled with upgrades to McClelland Hall, and dramatic landscape changes, create a whole new student village environment.

In addition, Lasell was named by the national higher education newspaper, The Chronicle of Higher Education, as “One of the Great Places to Work”. Lasell was specifically acknowledged for our strong teaching environment. Again, recoginzing Lasell's top-quality faculty and academic experience. Lasell also received a prestigious Davis Grant in support of research across the curriculum. These public acknowledgements of Lasell’s educational philosophy affirm our commitment to and the benefits of a connected learning approach to education.

Come see for yourself what makes Lasell College special. The Office of Undergraduate Admission is open Monday through Saturday during the fall, winter, and spring, offering tours of campus at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and at 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Looking to experience a day in the life of a Lasell College student? YOU CAN DO THAT! The Office of Undergraduate Admission is happy to arrange your individual campus visit. Take a tour, sit-in on a couple of courses, meet a member of our distinguished faculty in your academic area of interest, speak with one of our varsity athletic coaches, and join us for lunch in the Edwards Student Center or at the Campus Center.
