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.

Thank you for your continued support!

Community Conversation on Political Common Ground – Part 2

March 31, 1–4 p.m.
Esch Hurvis Room, Warch Campus Center

Facilitators:
Kimberly Barrett, vp for diversity & inclusion and associate dean of the faculty
Jenna Stone, executive director of budget and planning

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.
