The entire Lawrence University community is invited to celebrate President Mark Burstein on Saturday, May 15, from 2-5 p.m on the Main Hall Green.
The day will start with the LU community cheering on Mark as he makes his LAST LAP around campus. The lap will end at the library plaza and be followed by good food and music. Social distancing protocols will be observed during the parade, food, and music event!
Those who cannot physically make it to the event, do have an option to purchase a cardboard cutout of yourself place along the route.
More information on the event can be found on the LUCC Facebook page.

We are seeking photos from the LU community for this unique gift. f you have photos to contribute, please share them by emailing them to Lawrentian@lawrence.edu and LUCC@lawrence.edu.
