College Highlights
At Le Moyne, students discover who they are as fun-loving citizens who are driven and full of spirit. In time, they also find who they are to become: leaders, experts, and compassionate advocates for those in need.
EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW
Students get involved in ways they would never have imagined. Some work alongside Dr. Martha Grabowski, the Distinguished McDevitt Chair in Information Systems, traveling to Alaska to help with oil-spill research. Some take trips to New York City with their professors, getting the most out of their core curriculum’s “outside the classroom” experience. Others take classes taught by Dr. Douglas Egerton, a history professor who is one of the nation’s preeminent Abraham Lincoln scholars.
EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Every year, Le Moyne students immerse themselves in their education through internships, study abroad opportunities, community service projects, and faculty-mentored research.
