The Lasallian Mission Office (LMO) in the Laguna Campus is responsible for the programs and activities for the educators, students, staff, partners, and other stakeholders in ensuring that the core traditions and principles remain at the forefront of the educational experience and social transformation. 

Social Engagement & Development

Strengthening community ties and linkages benefits both community partners and Lasallian community members, especially students.
