A Cappela @ Lasell

Acapella Club: Aidan Watson, Rebecca Nash, Philjay Solar, Shauna Byrne, Shannon Dries, Louissa Douyo, and Amy Sleeper (not pictured above).


This year a very new and exciting group was implemented at Lasell College- the Acapella Club! They have created quite the buzz, being one of the newest and, already, one of the most popular performing arts clubs on campus.

The group consists of students, Aidan Watson, Rebecca Nash, Philjay Solar, Shauna Byrne, Shannon Dries, Louissa Douyo, and Amy Sleeper. You can find them performing at a number of different activities on campus. I had the opportunity to hear them at the opening men's volleyball game earlier this spring. They sang the National Anthem and their sound was tight and vibrant. As a former high school choral singer of four years, I was extremely impressed and proud that they were representing Lasell! They also showed diversity singing with multiple male vocalists.

The Office of Student Activities is always trying to find new and exciting groups and clubs to promote on campus. If you're interested in a specific topic or subject, chances are there are many other students that share the same passion! We encourage students to learn about how to create and implement new organizations to give them opportunities to bring what they love to our community.

Tonight, CAB is showcasing the Acapella Club in the Campus Center at 8pm. Admission is free, which I think is a steal to come and listen to their voices! For more information feel free to contact CAB at

Upcoming Sales at OSA


The Office of Student Activities is consistently trying to bring new trips and activities to Lasell students. More often than not, the walls of buildings here on campus are lined with fliers naming countless upcoming events and ticket sales through OSA. We realize students don't always want to stay on campus and would like to take part in activities in and around the city. OSA makes the process painless and fun.

There are almost always discounted ticket sales going on in the office. For instance, just the other month we sold tickets to a Celtics game which sold out in 15 minutes. Upcoming sales include tickets to see the Bruins, Cats and The Blue Man Group. There is a limit to 2 tickets per Lasell student. They range between $10 and $15 and OSA even sometimes offers transportation to these events.

Student Activities is always looking for more ideas for trips and ticket sales, so if we aren't offering what you would like to do, shoot us an e-mail at studentactivities@lasell.edu and we will try our best to make it happen!
