Lafayette College Two centuries of excellence. One life-changing education. Cur Non is our rally cry at Lafayette College. Why not have the courage to live boldly?

The motto of the Marquis de Lafayette, our namesake, Cur Non means Why Not. 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.

As part of the series “Students, Faculty, and the Power of And,” the Lafayette College community had the opportunity to support our 2024 Patriot League champion field hockey team as they opened their season in Evanston, Ill.

Hear from Lisa Gabel, Rappolt Professor of Neuroscience, and Lafayette benefactor and supporter of Lafayette and USA Field Hockey, Bill Rappolt ’67, about the connections that make Lafayette distinctive.

“We’re a fairly small, but powerful college, and having those types of connections and having alumni that are so engaged that it spans across athletics and academics…it’s really impressive.” —Lisa Gabel
