Safety Consultant
We are partnering with Susen Trail, a Safety Consultant, to help us identify areas of risk and put programs in place to mitigate that risk. Susen is a Certified Industrial Hygienist who has worked in occupational safety since obtaining her Masters degree from the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health in 1997. Susen bring many years of experience with OSHA Consultation in Colorado and public sector safety and health standard enforcement with Wisconsin’s Department of Commerce/Department of Safety and Professional Services to work as a Safety Consultant with you at Lawrence University.
Before Susen attended the University of Michigan she worked as a molecular biologist research assistant at Michigan State University and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis MO. Susen feels to be a good industrial hygienist you need to be curious about everything and have a good imagination which will foster the ability to find the most effective and useful ways to help create the safest workplace possible. Her goal is to help Lawrence improve and maintain our safety programs.
Susen will be on campus 20 hours a week. Her desk is located on the first floor of Brokaw Hall. If you have a safety question or concern, feel free to reach Susen at 832-6729 or susen.e.trail@lawrence.edu, thank you!

Don’t Forget to Register for LU’s Diversity Conference
Derald Wing Sue renowned author, psychologist and faculty member at Columbia University will deliver a keynote address entitled, “Microaggressions in Everyday Life”. His remarks will emphasize how these everyday microaggressions impact higher education.
In addition, presenters will provide insights on topics ranging from technology in the diverse classroom to creating institutions that are welcoming to international students. The conference also provides networking opportunities among professionals interested in making sure that we teach all students well.
The conference was planned to occur at a time when faculty and people in the teaching profession would be more available to attend. However, we are all teachers and learners in some sense. So anyone with an interest in these topics is encouraged to attend.
Registration for the public: $175

Derald Wing Sue Addresses “Microaggressions in Everyday Life” on August 18
Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional which communicate hostile, derogatory or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.
The most detrimental forms of microaggressions are usually delivered by well-intentioned individuals who are unaware that they have engaged in harmful conduct toward a socially devalued group.
This keynote address will show how microaggressions are manifested in institutions of higher learning, and how it impacts students, staff, faculty and administrators from socially devalued groups in our society.
Registration is FREE for faculty, staff and students.
