Go “into the streets” to learn about Appleton and volunteer!

Dear first-year students,

Welcome to Lawrence and to Appleton, WI! We are glad to have you in our community.

You may be wondering about your new home and neighborhood and asking, “where are the good places to eat?” and “what community resources are available?” and “how can I meet new friends that care about the community?”

A great way to find out is to join LU leaders and alumni in going “Into the Streets” to learn, serve and celebrate together during Welcome Week on Saturday, 9/9 from 1-5 pm.

Learn more and sign up soon! Space is limited and the event does fill. https://givepul.se/yrwfo

Closed for July

The Volunteer and Community Service Center is now closed and will re-open August 1, 2017. All student-run programs, such as our VITAL tutoring program, LARY mentoring program and HYPE, OLAS, and BYE cultural support programs will resume late September when students return to the Volunteer Center. Should you need immediate assistance, please contact Karen Brenna, Administrative Assistant, at 920.832.7167.

Learn about your new Appleton community and go “into the streets” with the VCSC!

Into the Streets provides first-year students with an introduction to the Fox Cities area and the needs of the community. Lawrentian volunteers will be afforded the opportunity to tour an agency and learn about the mission, goals, and community issues addressed at each agency. Following a brief overview of the agency, students are asked to participate in a service project together.

Through involvement in the Volunteer and Community Service Center (VCSC), we hope students will become exposed to new ideas that may influence their future perspectives on community, social justice, and humanitarian issues. Please register by THURSDAY, 9/10.

Goodbye 2013-14 school year! Hello summer!

Lawrence University does not provide instruction during the summer months and students are now entering their summer break. A few students remain on campus to pursue internships in the Fox Cities or on-campus research/employment. All VCSC programs are now closed and will resume late September/Early October 2014. Thank you for a successful year!
