Admissions Tours for Candidates

As the Admissions office continues to receive more and more visits from prospective students, and given the limitations of our student tour guiding staff, we are no longer able to offer personalized tours to every candidate visiting Lawrence on a job interview. Rather, we would like to invite departments to schedule their candidates on one of our regularly scheduled campus tours, which can be done by e-mailing Kathy Hogan. Our tour schedule is below for reference.

We will continue to schedule personalized tours for senior staff candidates only (President, Provost, etc.), which can also be scheduled through Kathy.

For questions, please contact Jen England at x6840.

Facilitators:
Kimberly Barrett, vp for diversity & inclusion and associate dean of the faculty

Community Conversations at Lawrence University are a series of structured dialogues that facilitate authentic communication across some critical area of perceived difference. The purpose is to practice civil deliberation while promoting greater intergroup understanding and trust. We want to help participants begin to move beyond political orthodoxies in order to see ourselves
as diverse but related travelers on life’s journey together with shared concerns and values. It will also serve as a basis to develop collaborative strategies to increase the well-being, civility and participation of people across the political spectrum in all aspects of the life of our campus.

Please RSVP to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu by Monday, March 27.

Lawrence University is excited to offer a Weight Management Group for all staff, faculty, and spouses/domestic partners.  This program is part of the initiatives we are starting on campus to help you with the things you wanted to learn more about, per the PHA surveys.  The group will be hosted by Laurie Ehlers, ThedaCare RN Educator.

The initial meeting will be held at Warch Campus Center – Kraemer Conference Room on Tuesday, March 28th at noon.

A typical meeting will be 30 minutes in length and consist of learning topics, optional sharing of successes and/or opportunities you have had in your weight management journey, optional weigh-ins, and much more.

Everyone is welcome and there is no requirement to participate in a specific diet program. We hope to see you there!
