At Lasell, we approach education a little differently. Rather than asking you to passively receive information — to simply memorize what you are told you need to know by your teachers — we want you to meet your education head-on, to bring your learning to life. We want you to get actively

Connected Learning: the

foundation of your Lasell

experience

involved in the work of your fi eld — to connect the subject matter you’re learning in the classroom with the events, issues and problems that exist in the world beyond the classroom walls. We want you to engage, to do. We want you to draw the course material out of the vacuum of the textbook and connect it to the here and now.

Sometimes this connection will happen in the classroom — perhaps through a group project or a case study of a current business or organization. In many instances, you’ll have opportunities to apply your learning outside the classroom — maybe through a service-learning project,

A NOTE ABOUT THIS BOOK

In these pages is a sample week in the life of Lasell College, giving you a sense of the experience that our students gain through our commitment to connected learning, and the ways that they take advantage of the full college experience we offer. Obviously, your weeks here will depend on your particular interests and passions, but we hope these examples help you imagine how you might “experience every day” at Lasell.

an internship or an independent research assignment. (You’ll see plenty of examples of these kinds of projects and assignments in the pages that follow.)

Wherever the connection occurs, you will be actively tying your classroom learning to real issues, events, problems

and solutions — giving you a wealth of experience every day you’re a student here. And by the time you graduate, that experience will translate not only into a convincing résumé or graduate school application, but also into a lifelong love of learning and meaningful community engagement.

8:30 a.m. A class of athletic training students is gearing up for next

week’s big event: the running of the Boston Marathon.

On hand to help treat participant injuries, they’ll be using

everything they learned in their anatomy and physiology,

and kinesiology classes, as well as their training in fi rst aid

and emergency care. Two other athletic training majors are

interning with the New England Patriots this semester.

11:00 a.m.Dan, Lisa and Chad head to Wolfe Hall for their Federal Income

Taxation class. This morning, they’ll be discussing their experiences

in the VITA program, where they helped low-income and elderly

citizens complete their tax returns. Through VITA, they explain,

they had the opportunity to actively apply the ideas and principles

they were learning in class to real-life projects, connecting “theory”

with “practice” and “concepts” with “experience.”

Approximately 90 percent of all Lasell students complete at least one internship. A psychology major talks about her internship with the Department of Social Services: lasell.edu/internships.

1:00 p.m.Susan, a criminal justice student, reports to the U.S. Marshal’s

Offi ce in Boston for her internship. Since she’s particularly

interested in criminal investigation, this is an ideal placement

for her. All criminal justice students have the opportunity to

complete at least one internship and to take advantage of our

faculty members’ extensive professional experience by minoring

in fi elds such as forensic studies and political science.

• A beautiful campus, located just outside the amazing city of Boston.

• A close-knit community of more than 1,300 full-time undergraduate students —who are bright, diverse and interesting.

• Over 20 different on-campus residence options, from traditional residence halls to suite-style housing to Victorian-inspired homes.

WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR IN YOUR NEW COLLEGE HOME?

A great place to call home

residence life6

Three of our residence halls feature suite-style housing, which includes a common area, small kitchenette and bathroom(s) shared with three to fi ve suitemates. Lasell also owns 15 residence houses, which accommodate between 12 and 40 students.

All students in campus housing have access to resident assistants (RAs) and area coordinators (ACs),

trained students and professional staff members who serve as sounding boards, advocates and community-builders. In addition to helping ease the transition to college life (they’ll answer questions about fi nding a place to study, taking advantage of Boston, or whatever else you need to know), RAs plan events and activities that help you get to know people and explore everything the campus and city have to offer.

The truth is, our campus is an ideal place to live and learn — which is probably why more than 80 percent of our students live in campus housing. Our fi ve traditional residence

halls offer a great environment for getting to know a wide range of people and lots of opportunities to participate in community events. In fact, many fi rst-year students fi nd that the friendships they form among their room- and hallmates continue over all four years at Lasell — not to mention throughout the rest of their lives.

Check out our two newest residence halls, opening inthe fall of 2009. These wireless, state-of-the art facilities will house 132 students: lasell.edu/newhalls.

Tuesday10:00 a.m.In a lab for his textile design and research class, Greg tests a new synthetic fabric to

see if it can be used for new Navy uniforms. The class refl ects a partnership between

Lasell’s fashion program and The Department of Navy, which offers our students paid

internships, design and technical programming, and scientifi c experimental exposure.

With extensive opportunities for this kind of hands-on experience, graduates from

Lasell’s fashion program have gone on to a wide range of exciting and successful

careers, from Marc Jacobs in New York to costume design for Hairspray and Spamalot.

1:30 p.m.A team of four communication students begins shooting a

public service announcement for a local non-profi t organiza-

tion. In the past month, they’ve researched the organization

and its target audiences, developed a concept for the ad, and

scripted and storyboarded the entire spot. Today, they put

their work on fi lm — and in a month or so, they’ll be able to

watch it on local Boston stations.

7:45 a.m. Two students in our nationally accredited Early Childhood Education

program head over to The Barn, Lasell’s on-campus day-care center.

understanding of issues like early literacy, childhood development

and caring for children with special needs.

3:30 p.m.Renowned historian, playwright and social activist Howard Zinn

gives a presentation on “Civil Liberties in War Time.” Sponsored

by our Donahue Institute for Values and Public Life, the talk is

followed by a rich discussion among students, faculty and staff.

Other forums and speakers have addressed topics such as “Going

to War with Iraq,” “Islam as Culture,” “Genocide in Darfur” and

“Discrimination Against Women in the Workplace.”

9:15 a.m.Todd, a history major, walks over to Lasell Village, a state-of-the-art,

educational, elder-care community right on Lasell’s campus, to have

coffee with one of the residents. During the conversation, the resident

shares stories of his fi rsthand experiences during World War II, when

he was stationed in France. These stories, which Todd will incorporate

into a paper on the European Theatre of World War II, add dimension

and depth to his understanding of this critical historical event.

4:30 p.m.Next semester’s group of study-abroad students meets for a

pre-departure orientation. They’re heading to places such as

China, Costa Rica, Switzerland, New Zealand and Italy. Not

only does study abroad offer total immersion in new cultures

and perspectives, it’s also a great way to gain maturity,

independence and self-confi dence.

12:05 p.m.Ryan, a student in the Emerging Leaders Program*, meets with his mentor

for lunch. They begin with some general “how’s life?” talk, where Ryan shares

some good news about his recent English paper, as well as some concerns about

selecting a major. They also talk about his efforts to help plan the College’s

annual Awards Banquet, which gives them opportunity to discuss his personal

leadership style, communication skills and decision-making abilities.

7:30 p.m.Over at Taylor Field, it’s an intramural showdown: the

reigning champs from McClelland Hall versus a strong

team of journalism majors. Since it’s spring, the IM sport of

choice is wiffl e ball. In the fall, it’s fl ag football, and in the

winter, IMers hit the hardwoods for hoops.

11:25 a.m.During their Social Aspects of Health class (a “special

topics in sociology” seminar), four human services

majors discuss their experiences volunteering at

Bournewood, a nearby psychiatric hospital that serves

patients with mental health or substance-abuse issues.

Two students worked in an inpatient unit with children;

two helped adults utilize basic mental health skills.

the students return to campus with a stunning collection of images,

from the scales of justice to an American fl ag to a double yellow line

on the street.

6:00 p.m.Dinner and a movie at Professor Hatem’s house. A

mathematics class gathers at the home of their professor

to eat pizza and screen the movie 21 to discuss the

concepts of probability and statistics. With a student/

faculty ratio of 13:1, close relationships between students

and faculty are a hallmark of the Lasell experience.

9:15 p.m.Over in the Campus Center, “open mic night”

tree-lined streets (color-drenched in the fall) and palpable sense of history give our campus the classic college vibe. Yet, just a few minutes away lies the vibrant city of Boston, complete with all the cultural, entertainment, educational and employment opportunities of this world-class city — all of them easily navigable by subway (or “the T”).

Newton, Massachusetts:

A “have your cake and eat it, too” location

Situated among the neighborhood streets of a Boston suburb, Lasell’s campus makes an ideal “home base” for our students. For starters, our hometown of Newton offers all the standard student essentials, including nearby shopping, theaters and dine-on-a-dime restaurants. Plus, Newton’s historic buildings,

Home to great music venues, theaters and comedy clubs, Boston is a fl ourishing center for the arts. And, the high concentration of colleges and universities in the area has earned the city the nickname “The Athens of America.”

So, on any given weekend, you might cheer on the Celtics, do some serious shopping on Newbury

Street or relive history by following The Freedom Trail. You could also grab lunch at Quincy Market, get student tickets to see Blue Man Group or listen to some great live music in Cambridge. Or, you could stick close to home and enjoy the lively student scene right here on Lasell’s campus — it’s all possible with our best-of-both-worlds location.

Several important industries — including fi nancial services, printing and publishing, tourism, fashion, law and government— have a major presence in Boston. Lasell students regularly tap into these resources for internships and post-graduate jobs.

1:00 p.m.At the Center for Spiritual Life, students, faculty and staff gather to learn about

spring holy days in various faith traditions — from the Hindu Holi celebration

to the Jewish observance of Pesach (Passover) to the Orthodox Christian

Holy Week. As a community that values diverse perspectives and encourages

diversity of thought, Lasell provides wide-ranging opportunities to encounter

on their résumés set them apart from other recent gradu-

ates. Our students have attended some of the fi nest gradu-

ate programs — from Columbia to NYU to MIT— and

landed jobs at some of the world’s most well-respected

companies and organizations: Deloitte and Touche,

the Department of the Navy, the Boston Design Center,

Disney World, The Boston Globe and the Peace Corps, to
