La Salle has been named to the Honor Roll.

"We are very proud to be recognized by the NCAS and its member schools for the sixth consecutive year," said Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation Dr. Thomas Brennan, who is a member of the NCAS Board of Directors.

The NCAS consists of colleges, universities, and individuals who share a mission to use educational attainment and the appeal of sport to positively affect social change. NCAS was founded in 1985 by Dr. Richard E. Lapchick to "keep the student in student-athletes" and currently has 224 member institutions.

Project Teamwork, the Athletic Department's community service outreach program, places student-athletes into the community doing various service projects ranging from the Big Brother/Big Sister program to helping elementary students with their homework. The outreach program has placed an emphasis on Logan Elementary school and the Big Brother/Big Sister program. At Logan Elementary School, there are special rooms for La Salle Athletes to tutor nearly fifty elementary students in subjects such as science and math as well as participate in games and computer-based programs. Students at Logan participate in the Big Brother/Big Sister Program with La Salle student-athletes serving as their "bigs"

Brennan was quick to point out that the response by La Salle student- athletes is something not just stressed by the athletic department. "One of the distinctive characteristics of a Lasallian education is community service. The athletic department along with the university has made a commitment to service and community outreach. We are proud that the student-athletes have responded to this commitment in a exemplary fashion."
