S.O.U.P. and the Office of Student Activities present your favorite comedic magician, speaker, and two-time magician of the year for a fun, ‘customized-to-Lawrence’ virtual game show.
Designed specifically for a livestream audience with enticing prizes, this show is a sure-fire hit. This show combines the fast paced fun of HQ Trivia, the popularity of Twitch, and incorporates some of Joseph’s signature magic.
When you join the party, Joseph will entertain and set the tone with amazing sleight-of-hand — some of which aren’t even seen in his college shows. Following the magic, you can become a contestant in several game shows designed to make you feel connected, build a sense of community, and have a ton of fun! And it will all be tailored to LU, including questions about campus, student life, and more!
Did we mention prizes? There will be prizes sent to the cleverest, the funniest, and the most knowledgeable of students! It’s a full-length program that will leave you asking yourselves… “Are you smarter than a zoombomber?”
Join us LIVE at 8 PM TONIGHT www.twitch.tv/josephtran

Good afternoon students-
A few of you have reached out today with questions about requesting an absentee ballot if you are registered to vote in Wisconsin. The deadline to request an absentee ballot was recently extended and closes at 5pm TODAY, April 3rd.
To request an absentee ballot for the April 7th election, the Appleton City Clerk’s office recommends that you directly email electionclerk@appleton.org to request your ballot. You will need to tell the clerk’s office where you would like the ballot sent and will need to attach a copy of an appropriate form of voter ID to your email request.
Wisconsin law currently requires you to have a voter ID on election day in order to cast a ballot. A Wisconsin driver’s license, U.S. passport, or military ID is acceptable. Your standard Lawrence student ID does not meet the voter identification specifications. If you have previously acquired a LU voter ID (this would look like you standard ID card but will have expirations dates on it) you can use this as your identification as long as it is not past the expiration dates.

Dean of Students
Mail Forwarding
For students residing off-campus during spring term, please remember to have your mail sent to the address at which you will be residing.
Students living off campus, but not at the address they have listed on their Voyager account, can have mail forwarded to a new address by contacting Mail.Services@Lawrence.Edu.
The mail room window is currently open Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
This spring brings with it two important moments in civic life: the 2020 Census and Wisconsin’s April 7 Primary Election. The disruptions to our daily lives brought by local, state, and national efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19 have also led to many questions regarding these upcoming events. Below is the most recent information and guidance available to us:
2020 Census
Lawrence University is in contact with the US Census Bureau on how to administer the Census for students given. Please note that if campus would ordinarily be your primary residence during the academic year, you should be counted as a resident on campus in Appleton. Do not fill out the Census at your home address. Lawrence University will be in contact with you regarding the Census as soon as possible. In the meantime, questions can be directed to Christyn Abaray (christyn.abaray@lawrence.edu).
April Primary Election
Many Lawrence students have a right to participate in the Wisconsin Spring Primary due to their status as residents of Appleton. Lawrence University is in contact with the City of Appleton Clerk’s office to determine how Lawrentians will participate in the upcoming election. Even as we work to sort out the details with Appleton, please feel free to attempt to request an absentee ballot via myvote.wi.gov.
You will need to enter the physical address of your assigned campus residence at the time you registered to vote. You may be asked to upload a photo of your driver’s license or other voter ID. (For questions about an LU voter ID, send an email to idoffice@lawrence.edu.)
Lawrence will continue to work with the U.S. Census Bureau and the City of Appleton’s Clerk’s office regarding the census and April’s primary. Please stay tuned to the LU Insider for more information.
Starting March 19, 2020 students will be using The Café as the sole dining spot on campus. At this time we will not be able to offer any dining services to faculty and staff. The Café is closed to the public. The look and feel of dining will be different. In the interest of protecting students and Bon Appetit employees, we will adhere to the latest CDC guidelines for social distancing. This will include limiting the number of people in The Café and pausing the use of all seating. All food will be packaged to go in disposable containers. Self-service will be eliminated.
We ask for everyone’s help to keep everyone safe by following these guidelines:
Boxes! The Lawrence Center for Community Engagement and Social Change (CCE) is collecting boxes and packaging tape to assist students in the moving process. Should you have any boxes or tape, please bring them to the CCE, located in the back of the Seeley G. Mudd library off of Lawe St. at 113 S. Lawe St. Please look for signs for the CCE and just drop off in the entrance. We are seeking to limit visitors. Questions can be sent to community.engagement@lawrence.edu
