Student Designed T-Shirt Winner -Available in Kates Corner Store


During the Fall term, we asked the Lawrence students to submit original t-shirt designs as part of a campus wide project. The submissions were reviewed, and a winner was selected.

Izzy Puello, Studio Art and Museum Focus major, provided the winning design. Their drawing was paired with the athletics logo, and a TruBlu graphic addition on the front for a unique shirt that highlights the many faces of Lawrence.

Get your shirt in Kate’s Corner Store and congratulate Izzy when you see them on campus!

Hockey shuttles

The Office of Student Life is happy to announce that we are partnering with the Student Welfare Committee to provide a FREE shuttle to and from Men’s and Women’s Hockey games at the Appleton Family Ice Center and Community First Champion Center.

  • Pick up on game days will be at the Wriston Turnaround.
  • First pickup will be 45 minutes before the game starts, and then the driver will loop back around for a second pass.
  • At the end of the game, the shuttle will take you back to campus again.

We encourage everyone to take advantage of this resource and go and support the LU Hockey teams!

Andrew Commons – Open to the Public

Just a reminder that as we learn to be an open campus again, students, staff, and faculty are welcome to bring their friends, family, and neighbors to Lawrence for mealtimes or coffee in Andrew Commons or the Café. Beyond the meal swipe, cashless payments are taken in both locations and the public is welcome.

Consider inviting your favorite people for communal mealtimes or a casual weekend brunch on campus.

Buses from Chicago and Minneapolis-End of Break

Worry just a bit less about how to get back to campus.

With travel beginning in Chicago and Minneapolis and additional stops happening at the midway points, you can sign up to come back to campus on March 27 in the comfort of a Lamers coach bus.

The cost is $30 and registration ends when the bus is full or by March 23, whichever happens first. Riders may take 2-3 large bags on the bus back. Both buses are actively gaining riders each day, so don’t delay in signing up.
