Celebrating 175 Years of Lasell - A Message from President Eric Turner

As we kick off the 2026–2027 academic year at Lasell University, I am incredibly excited by what lies ahead. This is a particularly special year for our community as we celebrate Lasell’s 175th anniversary and look toward the next chapter in our history.

My fourth year as president began on July 1, and I remain immensely proud of all that our community has accomplished together. Over the past several years, we have continued to innovate, invest in our campus, expand opportunities for all our learners and strengthen Lasell’s position as an institution of higher education.

As we honor where we have been and look toward where we are going, I am reminded of what has always made Lasell special: our willingness to evolve and innovate, our commitment to a student first education and our belief that the value of a Lasell degree can change lives. That has never been more true than it is today.

Forever Forward.
