Thrift for Ukraine

Saturday, May 11-Sunday, May 12 | 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
Warch 324 – Somerset Room

LUCC will be hosting a fundraiser for the non-profit organization Wisconsin Ukrainians. All of the funds collected will go to Wisconsin Ukrainians, and all monetary contributions to the organization will be used to buy necessary medical supplies for Ukrainian defenders and citizens near the front lines.

This fundraiser will be a “pop-up” thrift store, offering clothing, books, accessories, dorm decor, art, and more for students to buy at student-friendly prices. The goal of the event is first and foremost to share the beauty of Ukrainian culture and geography, raise awareness about Ukraine’s struggle in the Russia-Ukraine war, and allow students the opportunity to engage in a philanthropic effort for a present-day conflict.

The Show Is Over

Thursday, May 9 | 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, May 11 | 2:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
Stansbury Theatre

  • Director: Mauriah Donegan Kraker
  • Stage Manager: David Ciotti Hernandez


THE SHOW IS OVER is a devised work created in collaboration with student composers, musicians, actors, and dancers. Over the course of the evening, tap dance boards become set pieces, pop and punk sounds instigate obsessively danced phrases, real and virtual worlds collide. A murky manifesto for disorientating patterns of physicality and language.

17 Days of Kindness

Kindness is a key component of community, particularly a community like Lawrence’s that values acceptance and belonging. Our 3rd annual 17 Days of Kindness community-wide campaign begins April 11!

17 Days of Kindness is a Lawrentian tradition that showcases the best of our community through a mix of events, gratitude, and a celebration of the intentional and random acts of kindness that make Lawrence so special. There will be events across campus that will span the 17 Days that will give faculty, staff, and students the opportunities to share gratitude with those who have impacted Lawrence students virtually and in person, and kindness to ourselves through self-care.

17 Days of Kindness has a kickoff planned for Thursday April 11 outside Warch Campus Center and ends on April 27 with our annual President’s Ball!
