New York Times subscription

Interested in getting the daily New York Times on campus for a fraction of the newsstand cost? A Monday – Friday subscription is only $54.00 for the fall term. Sound too good to be true? It may be but there are no gimmicks. The NYT is delivered each day by 6 AM to the Warch Campus Center and is available for pick-up at the Information desk any time. We also keep your missed copies for three days, so if you cannot get over here one day your paper will be waiting for you the next.

If you are interested e-mail me at gregory.l.griffin@lawrence.edu and let me know to order a paper for you. Paper delivery will begin Monday, September 11th. Please let me know which terms you want to receive the paper including December break, Spring break and Summer (there is no delivery the week of Christmas). The rates are shown below.

Taize worship services

Taize worship services are a partnership between Lawrence and All Saints Episcopal church. Taize worship services are ecumenical Christian services that follow a rhythm of simple chants, silence and scripture. These meditative services take place in the candle-lit sanctuary.

Lawrence student Gabi Makuc plans and coordinates the services, while other Lawrence students are also involved in leading the services. All services are open to the public.

The first Taize service is Sunday, Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Guest bartend at the VR for senior nights

Consider signing up to serve as a guest bartender in the Viking Room. You can join the Class of 2017 nearly any Wednesday night of the academic year from 9 to 11 p.m. It’s late for some of us, but oh so fun, and students REALLY get into interacting with faculty and staff! You can sign up as individuals, pairs or as a department.

Complete a short registration form to sign up.

Contact Paris Wicker, associate dean of students for campus programs and senior class advisor, at paris.d.wicker@lawrence.edu or 920-832-7369 with any questions.
