Lafayette Founders' Day graphic

On Founders’ Day, March 9, we honor our past, celebrate the present, and invest in the future of a College that is on the cusp of a 200-year anniversary. Since 1826, Lafayette has been revered as a special and distinctive place….and it is even more so today. From its humble beginnings, educating 43 students in a rented farmhouse at the top of College Hill, to preparing today’s talented and fearless 2,700+ students, Lafayette has never wavered from its mission to equip scholars to be tomorrow’s doers, thinkers, and changemakers. Here, we spotlight a few members of our community who have made contributions to enhance the Lafayette student experience.
