Thank you for participating in the Staff Connection survey on the All Staff Meeting topics. We heard you, and there is an overwhelming request for more information regarding Lawrence’s budget and financial plan.
To more sufficiently address staff concerns, Staff Connections will be hosting a finance update and Q&A session with Vice President of Finance Mary Alma Noonan and President Mark Burstein on Friday, October 23, 8:30-9:30 a.m. (Zoom information below). Questions and concerns from the prior survey have already been submitted to senior leadership for review. For those unable to attend, this meeting will be recorded and posted to the Staff Connections webpage.
We received feedback that webinar-style meetings feel impersonal and that staff prefer face-to-face discussions with senior leadership. Due to the size and nature of this meeting—including critical and sensitive topics—we will need to host this financial update as a webinar for best Zoom connection and organization. However, Staff Connections is planning to host open discussions via meeting format in the future to ensure your voices are heard; please watch for more information soon.
We encourage you to submit additional questions by Thursday, October 22 at noon via this anonymous form: https://forms.gle/uARBrfrNBf354yZx8. We will cover as many questions as possible during the allotted time, and staff will also be able to submit questions during the meeting via the chat feature.
If you have general concerns or suggestions for the Staff Connections Committee, please feel free to reach out to staff_connection@lawrence.edu. We appreciate and encourage all feedback, as it only serves to strengthen our community.
