Give your gently used coats and other winter wear (scarves, gloves, etc.) new life by donating them to those in need! Coats will first be made available to Lawrence students who can use the help, and any leftovers will be donated to a local charity.
Donations can be dropped off in the Admissions Office in Chapman Hall from 8am-5pm Monday-Friday.
If you know of a student in need of a coat, please connect them with Gaelyn Rose in Admissions at gaelyn.rose@lawrence.edu or x6889.
You are invited to a Faculty Meet & Greet with LU’s London Centre Resident Director Christine Hoenigs.
Monday, October 22nd from 4 to 5:30pm in the International House
Are you interested in learning about LU’s London Centre and the recent changes in the program? Would you like to talk about how the program might better connect with your department or program? Have you considered the London Centre as a location for your students to conduct research by independent study or related to their senior experience? Would you like to learn about applying for the London Centre Visiting Faculty position? Would you like to meet Lawrence’s London Centre Director? This gathering will be an opportunity to discuss any of these topics.
We hope you can join us in welcoming Christine to campus next Monday.

“Listening Well in a World that Turns Away”
Katherine Cramer
Katherine Cramer is an American political scientist and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of “The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker,” the product of almost a decade of studying political attitudes in rural Wisconsin through ethnography.
Her work focuses on the way people in the United States make sense of politics. She is known for her innovative approach to the study of public opinion, in which she invites herself into the conversations of groups of people to listen to the way they understand public affairs.
Cramer was the recipient of the 2017 American Political Science Association’s Qualitative and Multi-Method Research section Giovanni Sartori Award for the best book developing or using qualitative methods published in 2016, as well as a finalist for the 2017 APSA Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book on government, politics or international affairs.
Thanks to all who made it out to the Wellness Fair last week, and a special shout-out and congratulations to our prize winners of baskets, certificates, and more! Congrats Biju Rajbhandari, Alicia Pope, Beth Krause, Yazmin Lara-Perez, Rebecca Minkus, Amy Van Schyndel, El Goblirsch, Calvin Phomsena, Julian Garcia, Sam LaRoi, and Chloe Armstrong!
Mark your calendars for an All-Staff Meeting on Thursday, October 18, from 9-10 a.m. in the Warch Campus Center, Somerset Room.
This event is sponsored by the Cargill Sustainability Grant, the Mia Paul Poetry Fund, and the Fox Cities Book Festival.
This talk will imagine ways that delight, joy, and love are integral to the ways we care for the land, but also to the ways we care for ourselves and each other as the land.
Ross’s reading will be followed by a book signing.
Ross Gay is the author of three books: Against Which; Bringing the Shovel Down; and Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, winner of the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. Ross is a founding board member of the Bloomington Community Orchard, a non-profit, free-fruit-for-all food justice and joy project. Ross teaches at Indiana University. His new book, The Book of Delights — will be released in Spring 2019.
James Forman Jr., author of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction for Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America, will deliver a talk that explores the rise of mass incarceration and its disproportionate impact on people of color. The talk will be followed by a signing of his book.
Lecture and Signing with Pulitzer-Winner James Forman, Jr.
Thursday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m.
Wriston Auditorium
The event is free and open to the public and no registration is required.
Forman, a professor at Yale Law School, seeks to understand why many African-American leaders for decades supported a get-tough “war on crime” that so profoundly impacts communities of color. Forman’s work is “an examination of the historical roots of contemporary criminal justice in the U.S., based on vast experience and deep knowledge of the legal system, and its often-devastating consequences for citizens and communities of color.”
