The Lawrence University Student Ambassador Program (SAP) is looking to receive new membership for this upcoming year. Please help us nominate any student, not including departing seniors, who seek to promote Lawrence Pride and philanthropy with the purpose of making the lasting Lawrence experience better for past, present, and future Lawrentians. The Student Ambassador Program seeks to inform the student body of the impact personal donations have on their Lawrence experience, with the ultimate goal of helping students with their eventual transition into active alumni after graduation. Our outreach to the student body involves working on different events throughout the year that are focused on raising awareness of philanthropy’s impact on Lawrence and Lawrence pride. Our mission is as follows:

The Lawrence University Student Ambassador Program (SAP) fosters an informed student experience, preparing them for alumni-hood. By Lawrentians for Lawrentians, we work towards improving the Lawrence community for past, present, and future Lawrentians through the following three pillars:

• To engage students with the unique Lawrence experience to develop lasting school pride,
• To connect students to unfamiliar facets of the Lawrence community, including but not limited to: administration, the Lawrence Fund, etc.
• To promote philanthropy and volunteerism among students.
