Dear Members of the Lasell University Community, 

As we near the midway point of my second year as president, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. Our community — comprising our ambitious students, dedicated faculty, supportive staff, engaged alumni, caring parents, and inspiring Lasell Village residents — embodies the spirit of collaboration and innovation that has always distinguished this institution.

In planning my recent inauguration, we sought to showcase the impact that each segment of our community has on another. Examples abound every day as our faculty and staff nurture our students’ growth, alumni return to campus to share career experiences, and learners of all generations collaborate in the pursuit of knowledge.

What makes Lasell special is not just our commitment to providing a strong educational foundation for students, but the deep connections we forge within our community. Each of us contributes a unique perspective that enriches our collective experience.

Together, we will face challenges and celebrate achievements, and uphold a culture that values inclusivity, respect, and empathy. Let us continue to uplift one another, embracing the opportunities that lie ahead. I am eager to engage with each of you and to nurture the bonds that make Lasell a remarkable place.

Thank you for being an active member of our vibrant community. I look forward to what we will accomplish together! 

Warmest regards,

Eric M. Turner
President, Lasell University
