The Lasallian Ambassadors at Manhattan College are continuing their Lasallian journey through rigorous academics, various clubs, intramural sports, expressed leadership, intentional community, and serving as peer mentors for the One La Salle exchange students. These students shared similar interests at their Lasallian secondary schools by showing leadership in community service and Lasallian Youth. We currently have 16 Lasallian Ambassador scholars from the following Lasallian High Schools:
Bryan McKeon, alumnus of St. Peter’s Boys High School, comes to Manhattan College from Staten Island, New York. Bryan is studying for his degree in Civil Engineering here at Manhattan College and joins his fellow Jaspers as part of the Class of 2021. Bryan is sure to make room in his busy schedule to allow his true Lasallian identity to show when on campus.
Bryan is an RA, which gives him the opportunity to create a safe, inclusive, and service-orientated environment for resident students. Aside from Lasallian Ambassadors, Bryan shows leadership by holding a position as a Resident Assistant, Manhattan College Senator, Civil Engineering Upperclassman Mentor, and is involved with the Governance Lead of ASCE. Bryan is currently working in the Office of Financial Aid, plugging away with a professor on a research project, and works with an engineering firm on Wednesdays. Bryan shares “Being Lasallian allows me to use my educational passion of civil engineering to help others.”
