Provide Opportunity

At Le Moyne, the college journey isn’t just about making the grade. It’s about making connections, pursuing experiences, and developing a toolbox for critical thinking. Le Moyne’s students benefit from a rigorous common core that nurtures inquiry and awareness of transformative ideas. Infused with the principles of the Jesuit tradition, the core prepares students by educating the whole person. 

It begins in the classroom. That is where Le Moyne students start to question, encounter, discover and form bonds with faculty members and classmates to last a lifetime. The College has a student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1. That makes a difference. Le Moyne Professors can speak not just to their students’ performance in the classroom, but also to their dreams for the future. 

When students put what they have learned in the classroom to work- as they conduct research, study abroad or complete an internship, something deep inside them “clicks.” These experiences out of the classroom aid students in strengthening their skills, gaining confidence in their abilities, and building their professional networks. They are critical to what we do here at Le Moyne.

Donor support keeps class sizes small and provides research and service-learning experiences that shape students into tomorrow’s world leaders.

Supporting higher education is more important than ever. The liberal arts play a critical role in preparing tomorrow’s world leaders and in encouraging them to pursue their passions to be of service to others. Le Moyne prepares students to process complex information and communicate effectively as they navigate their way through the world. These skills provide a competitive edge in the workforce. In fact, the pay gap between college graduates and those who have not graduated from college reached a record high in 2013, according to an analysis of U.S. Department of Labor statistics by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. It found that Americans with a four-year college degree made 98 percent more an hour on average than those without a degree.

- In 2018, the College completed a $6.3 million upgrade to the Noreen Reale Falcone Library.
