PHA Follow-up

If you participated in the PHA process this fall, I hope you’ve had a chance to review your personalized PHA report at www.thedacarepha.net.  If you have any questions or concerns about the results, please contact our onsite ThedaCare RN Laurie Ehlers at laurie.ehlers@lawrence.edu to schedule a time to review your report.

Please note Laurie will be reaching out to individuals with elevated biometric results.  Laurie will ensure participants are aware of the elevated biometric findings and direct the participants to resources to address their concerns.  Laurie is a ThedaCare employee, not a Lawrence employee.  Anything discussed with her is completely confidential, as it would be with any healthcare provider.

All Staff Meeting December 13, 9 a.m.

The next All Staff Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 13, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. in the Somerset Room in the Warch Campus Center.  Coffee and snacks will be provided.

All questions you would like to ask of Chris Lee, Vice President for Finance and Administration, Christyn Abaray, Director of Athletics or Brian Pertl, Dean of the Conservatory of Music should be emailed to staff_connection@lawrence.edu. 

3rd Friday Lunch – A topic we all know something about

The end of the Term is upon us.  The discussion topic for our lunch on Friday will be Finding meaning in the ordinary.  What are some of the ordinary, small encounters, or activities, that are a part of your past week that are also meaningful and refreshing moments?

Join us for soup and salad and time to share the small things that make life meaningful.
