Happy Founders' Day, Lafayette! On this day in 1826, the College charter was signed, sparking the beginning of a nearly 200-year history. 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. Link in bio to join us today by supporting an initiative that is most meaningful to you, whether it's enhancing the ability of our students to pursue multiple passions, like compete for Division I championships and participate in student research, or pursue the arts and engineering. Chances are, you will find a priority that fits your passion, supports student success, and strengthens Lafayette for the next 200 years. #LafayetteFoundersDay
