The air carries the clean, crisp scent of distant pine and the damp earth after a summer shower, a constant reminder of the natural world that surrounds DeSales University. The roots of this institution are intertwined with the educational and spiritual aspirations of the Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales, a history that imbues the campus with a particular character.
