Cur Non

Current Issue

The Marquis de Lafayette, our namesake,

was 19 years old when he crossed an ocean to join the cause of an independent America. He faced a journey that would have him navigate a new world, forge lasting connections, alter history, and redefine the course of his life.

You are on a similar journey. Like him, you have choices to make that rely on practical thinking, tactical maneuvers, and sheer brilliance.

Cur Non, the motto of the Marquis de Lafayette, is our rally cry. 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 place in the world? Cur Non means anything is possible at Lafayette.
