At Lafayette College, students are challenged to move beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the easy. They push themselves to become thinkers and leaders. Like us, they believe in the power of And. Lafayette College is liberal arts and engineering. Athletics and research. Academics and community engagement. Art and entrepreneurship. We seek students who live at intersections, blending passion and purpose. Our students shape their futures through an eclectic mix of majors and minors, double majors, and dual degrees. They collaborate on campus and in the community across class years, fields of study, and areas of interests They live and learn with a Cur Non spirit. The motto for the Marquis de Lafayette, our namesake, Cur Non means Why Not. Why not have the courage to live boldly? Why not engage in every aspect of learning? Why not use your intellect, energy and talent to find your And? If this sounds like the mindset you seek, then welcome to a place where all aspects of who you are will thrive. That is the power of And.
