📘 Reading Text (C1 Level): Upholding Lasallian Values in Higher Education
📘 Reading Text (C1 Level): Upholding Lasallian Values in Higher Education
At University La Salle Cancun, education transcends academic achievement; it is fundamentally rooted in a set of values inspired by Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. These Lasallian values—faith, service, fraternity, justice, and commitment—serve as the ethical compass that guides students, educators, and administrators alike.
Faith is not limited to religious belief but understood more broadly as trust in oneself, in others, and in the educational process. Students are encouraged to engage in reflective practices and cultivate a sense of purpose that transcends personal ambition.
Service, meanwhile, promotes a culture of solidarity and social responsibility. It urges students to use their skills and knowledge not only for personal gain but to uplift their communities. Community service, volunteer projects, and outreach programs are integral parts of the Lasallian educational model.
Fraternity fosters a sense of belonging, cooperation, and empathy. Within the classroom, this value is visible in collaborative learning, mutual support, and intercultural respect, especially relevant in a multicultural institution such as La Salle Cancún.
Justice,
a foundational principle of ethical living, goes beyond fairness in
treatment—it demands that individuals act with integrity, advocate for equity,
and uphold the rights of others. In academic settings, this value is reflected
in fair assessment practices, equal access to resources, and the promotion of
inclusive dialogue.
Lastly, commitment refers to perseverance and dedication to both personal development and collective goals. Whether in class attendance, punctuality, or participation in institutional initiatives, commitment is the bridge between intention and action.
Incorporating these values into university life is not merely aspirational—it is essential. They cultivate socially responsible graduates prepared not only for professional success but also for ethical leadership in an increasingly complex world.
