Fourth Friday lunch this week

The tradition of fourth Fridays started a few years ago, and has been a place for cross connection between departments. Stop by Sabin House for this staff and faculty discussion experience on September 27.

Dean Morgan-Clement’s discussion topic:
Peripheral Vision: I have up horseback riding again and one of the lessons I am relearning the art of using peripheral vision.  To keep your center and balance on a horse you need to activate a “wide field of vision.”

I am inviting you to bring stories and reflections from your own life about the paradoxical practice of activating peripheral vision and ways that it might allow us all to keep our center and balance in new ways.

Fourth Friday Returns For The Year

Employees of Lawrence are welcome to join in the discussion and enjoy a light lunch as provided by the Office of Spiritual and Religious Life. Or, bring your own lunch and connect with your fellow faculty and staff.

Fourth Friday dates for the year – mark your calendars now and check our Facebook page for topics as dates approach. No RSVP required.

Baccalaureate – June 8

Please join us on the Saturday of commencement weekend for Baccalaureate: the multifaith expression of the spiritual journey of the class of 2019. As the seniors have made their journey through Lawrence, the education of the mind has been just one of the goals. Along the way, a spiritual journey has also occurred. Baccalaureate will have student designed expressions, call to prayer and tributes through song, written word, and movement. Their chosen words, movement and music are sourced from the sacred and the secular, the ancient as well as the contemporary. Those on campus and their families are welcomed to the chapel to take part in this service. Join us in sharing this spiritual telling of the Lawrence journey. Saturday, June 8 11am Lawrence Memorial Chapel

Fourth Friday Lunch


Celebrating Others:  For us as staff and faculty, graduation is often a time to celebrate others, whether it is family members or our students.  Please join us for a conversation about how we do this well while leaving space for others.
