Kindness is a key component of community, particularly a community like Lawrence’s that values acceptance and belonging. Our 3rd annual 17 Days of Kindness community-wide campaign begins April 11!
17 Days of Kindness is a Lawrentian tradition that showcases the best of our community through a mix of events, gratitude, and a celebration of the intentional and random acts of kindness that make Lawrence so special. There will be events across campus that will span the 17 Days that will give faculty, staff, and students the opportunities to share gratitude with those who have impacted Lawrence students virtually and in person, and kindness to ourselves through self-care.
17 Days of Kindness has a kickoff planned for Thursday April 11 outside Warch Campus Center and ends on April 27 with our annual President’s Ball!
