We loved welcoming students from Thomas Kelly College Preparatory High School to St. Augustine College at Lewis University last week.

During their visit, 30 juniors and seniors had the opportunity to learn more about admissions, tour campus, and take part in an interactive activity in our RT lab.

Thank you to Kelly High School for spending time with us. We enjoyed sharing more about the student experience and the hands-on learning opportunities available here.

We're officially on Easter Break!

We wish our students, faculty, and staff a joyful and restful long weekend filled with peace, renewal, and time with those who matter most. In the Lasallian spirit of community and care, we look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the days ahead.

We look foward to seeing you next week!

Chicago winter is finally giving way to spring, and our second term is well underway. As the season changes, we are looking ahead to new opportunities, fresh energy, and all that this term has in store.

What are you looking forward to most this spring? What is your favorite spring activity?

What an exciting evening at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony celebrating the new Nursing & Pharmacy Technician Labs at St. Augustine College at Lewis University. We had a fantastic turnout, and it was great to see students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners all together to mark this milestone.

These new labs represent an important investment in hands-on learning and workforce-aligned training—strengthening how we prepare future healthcare professionals. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success.

St. Augustine College at Lewis University was proud to welcome 100 prospective students from Kelley, ASPIRA, and Kelvin Park High Schools!

During their campus visit, students connected with our faculty and staff, explored academic programs, and discovered the strong culture of support that defines the St. Augustine community.

Events like this reflect our ongoing commitment to partnership with Chicago-area high schools—creating pathways for future college students to explore their goals and envision their next steps in higher education. 💚❤️

Monument Moment: Essanay Studios Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood was once home to Essanay Studios, where early stars like Charlie Chaplin helped make the city a birthplace of American film.

As we mourn the passing of Dr. Carlos Plazas, we invite you to join us in honoring his life of service expanding educational opportunities for our community.

Welcome back students!

A new semester is here, and with it comes fresh challenges and opportunities. Stay focused, lean on your community, and keep moving toward your goals. Good luck!
