Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27-28; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29. Find more information at the Lawrence Box Office.

The Mascot Committee asked students to submit suggested names for our newest Viking – the antelope mascot. More than 450 students did just that. The committee ended up with a list of about 175 names. The committee then chose three finalists to be put to a vote by the full Lawrence community: Larry, Lou, and Blu. Voting began Wednesday and continues through Monday. Vote here.
The LU Peer Educators program is currently accepting applications. The Peer Educators program provides an opportunity for Lawrence students to teach, learn, grow, and develop skills within diversity, equity, and inclusion related areas. A peer educator is a Lawrence student who facilitates and helps to promote Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-racism (DEIA) awareness to their fellow peers throughout Lawrence University’s campus.
Peer educators attend various training courses, which will provide them with the essential tools on how to successfully lead DEIA and allyship workshops while enhancing their knowledge on diversity and social justice issues. If you are interested in learning more and/or applying, contact Nora Robinson @ nora.e.robinson@lawrence.edu
