Merit Pages is an online platform that uses social, print and online media to record and recognize academic and extracurricular achievements from matriculation to graduation. Students who choose to “claim” their own Merit Page can personalize their page to showcase everything from Lawrence honors and accomplishments to summer internships.

Jumma and Ramadan
Ramadan Mubarak
During Ramadan it’s especially nice to be able to connect with community during Jumma, and continue the traditions of your faith.
There is space to pray at the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, or we can connect you with Lawrentians that may be headed out to pray with the larger Muslim community.
Contact the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life for additional details.

Fourth Friday Lunch – May 25th
Come prepared to share a place on campus or in your private life that that helps you get beyond yourself.

Staff and faculty are welcome to join us for a fresh salad and/or soup plus great conversation.
No RSVP required. Sabin House Kitchen. Noon to 1pm, May 25.

Kenneth Bozeman
Kenneth Bozeman, Frank C. Shattuck Professor of Music, is the ninth recipient of Lawrence’s Faculty Convocation Award, which represents the judgment of faculty peers that the person’s professional work is of high quality and deserves the honor of selection.
A tenor, Bozeman has taught in the conservatory’s voice department since 1977. He is one of only 11 faculty members in the history of the university to be recognized with Lawrence’s Young Teacher Award (1980) and Excellence in Teaching Award (1996). He also was honored by the Voice Foundation with its Van Lawrence Fellowship in 1994 for his interest in voice science and pedagogy.
In 2017, his book on acoustic pedagogy, “Practical Vocal Acoustics: Pedagogic Applications for Teachers and Singers” was published. He is frequently invited to speak at seminars and master classes on acoustic pedagogy at universities and interdisciplinary conferences.
His appearance is supported by the Marguerite Schumann Memorial Lectureship.
