Changes in the Communications Office

As many of you know, the sweet songs of retirement reached the ears of two members of the communications team: Craig Gagnon, our associate vice president, and Rick Peterson, our director of media relations. (In case you missed our story about Rick’s 39 years at Lawrence, here it is, along with our thanks to so many in our community who contributed to it.)

Last week we announced that Megan Scott will join us this fall to lead our communications team. And just yesterday we officially launched the search for a new Director of Public Information.

Because we are not yet fully staffed on our communications team, we are asking for some help and open-mindedness from our campus colleagues with projects they are sending into the office. Due to these changes and available resources, that may mean the communications team may not be able to produce every request but can provide information and resources on how you can complete your project. Your colleagues in the communication office will work with each project request on an individual basis, seeking the most efficient and effective path to production and distribution.

In the meantime, please direct media requests and inquiries to the Office of Communications at 920-832-7325 or communications@lawrence.edu.
