End-of-Term Gathering

Friday, March 8 | 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Warch 225

Spiritual and Religious Life invites you to take time to acknowledge a turning and the impact that this term has had on our community, our relationships, our knowledge, our dreams, and our souls. When we pause to see from multiple perspectives then it is possible to hold hard and joyful, growth and struggle, loneliness, and community in the same space.

We will close with a release of our regrets, gratitude, and prayers for the term. We hope you will plan to be part of a shared experience.

Disability Awareness Week T-shirts

We invite you, the Lawrence faculty and staff, in joining us in embracing diversity and celebrating Disability Awareness Week.

The Disability Awareness events for the week will be a time to come together and create a community where everyone is valued and respected for who they are.

It is our goal to have you, our Lawrence faculty, and staff, provide support by wearing our Disability Awareness t-shirt on Friday April 5.
