HEDS COVID-19 Student Survey

How are you doing? How do you feel about Lawrence’s response to COVID-19? Are there things we can do to help? Tell us!

Lawrence’s Office of Research Administration is collaborating with the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) to administer the HEDS COVID-19 Student Survey. Check your email for the survey link. All students (18+) were invited to participate on April 27th (Subject line was “Lawrence Students: Tell us how well we’re responding to COVID-19”). Reminders will go out on April 30th, May 5th, and May 8th. The survey will be open until May 11th at 10:59 pm. Thanks in advance for participating in the survey.

Judicial Board Recruitment

Dear Lawrentians,

Judicial Board is seeking nominations to join the Board for the 2020-2021 year.  J Board is looking to fill over half of the Board, so we are REALLY seeking nominations. 

The goal of the University’s disciplinary system is to encourage and assist the students in assuming the responsibility for their own behaviors and discipline. The purpose of the Judicial Board is to educate rather than punish, to be helpful rather than vindictive, and to stimulate students to think about their actions as they relate to those of the other members of the university community.

The Board is committed to having a diverse board that represents the student body here at Lawrence, so we ask you to consider that commitment as you make your nominations.

Any rising sophomore, junior, senior, or 5th year may be nominated. Multiple nominations are welcome.  To nominate a student for the Judicial Board, please email their name to deanofstudents@lawrence.edu by Thursday, May 7th.

Thanks so much,

Cynfor Lu

Chair, Judicial Board

WIN $#!+ FROM HOME VIRTUAL GAME SHOW

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?”

Absentee Voting Information

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.

A note on Voter IDs

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.
