Cultural Competency Lecture Series – Activism and Social Change
Guilberly Louissaint ’17 and Max Loebl ’17 will present on activism & social change on May 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Warch Campus Center’s Esch Hurvis Room.
Student activism has become interwoven with our campus culture. It has taken different forms, such as protesting, workshops or even the creation of healing circles. It is imperative more than ever to be more strategic with student organizing. Communication and solid leadership are key components in creating successful outcomes during times of turmoil. Guil & Max will explore effective forms of activism, through student engagement, goal setting, impact analysis and personal experience.
The Cultural Competency Lecture Series at Lawrence features our faculty, students and staff sharing their expertise related to the knowledge and skills necessary to take a culturally competent, equity-minded approach to the work and learning in which they are engaged. Bring your lunch and learn!

As we strive to continue to meet the developmental objectives of our staff and faculty, I am happy to share that Learning at Lawrence is expanding! We are excited to share our new platform, which includes four main focus areas:
- Campus Knowledge, this bi-monthly focus will continue to be around learning more about different departments on campus.
- Compliance, this annual focus will be a half-day session to cover the necessary training that is required by law.
- New Manager, this quarterly training will include a half-day session for those recently promoted to a management position or those who are joining Lawrence in a management capacity to learn the essentials of supervising a team at Lawrence.
- Leadership Development, this quarterly training will provide supervisors and managers the opportunity to develop and expand their leadership skills.
