Worry just a bit less about how to get back to campus.
With travel beginning in Chicago and Minneapolis and additional stops happening at the midway points, you can sign up to come back to campus on March 27 in the comfort of a Lamers coach bus.
The cost is $30 and registration ends when the bus is full or by March 23, whichever happens first. Riders may take 2-3 large bags on the bus back. Both buses are actively gaining riders each day, so don’t delay in signing up.
Do you want to use the Valley Transit bus, but are not sure how? Sign up for a 30-minute training session with one of the CCE Staff! The CCE staff are certified by Valley Transit to train others how to ride the bus and safely get to their destination. With Lawrence’s new partnership with Valley Transit, all it takes is your LU ID, and you get FREE RIDES!
As an added bonus, during winter term, if you take a selfie at a bus stop and tag @lucareersandcommunity AND @valleytransit, you will get put into a drawing for one of three $25 gift cards!
Appointments for training are set up in Handshake. Once in Handshake, click “Community Engagement and Volunteering” and then “Valley Transit Training” and get signed up for training today!
