The Office of Student Life is offering one-way coach bus transportation back to campus from Chicago (with a pick-up in Milwaukee) and from Minneapolis – St. Paul (with a possible pick-up in Wausau) on the day before classes begin at the end of winter and spring breaks. The motor coach will depart from a central location in each of the cities – not from the airport. The cost is $20 – space is limited and seats will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis and must be reserved. Total cost of the coach bus will be subsidized by the Office of Student Life to make the trip affordable to students. Additional information will be sent to all students. Please contact the Office of Student Life with any questions and to reserve a seat on the bus.

Dear Lawrence Community,
Welcome back to campus and happy new year!
As you may have already a noticed, several changes have been made to the College Avenue pedestrian crossings, as well as surrounding intersections. A new push button-activated warning light system was recently installed in the mid-block crossings on College Avenue. This new system will reduce the number of false activations of the lights and make it clearer to pedestrians when lights are flashing. The crosswalks are also more accessible to the visually impaired thanks to audio beacons at the crossings. In addition, new pedestrian lighting has been added to the southeast corner of College and Lawe Streets and the northeast corner of Lawe and Alton Streets, improving visibility for both pedestrians and drivers.
Even with these improvements, we all must be vigilant when crossing any street, as we are never completely protected from inattentive drivers. As you approach crosswalks or traffic intersections, be sure to pay attention to traffic from all directions, avoid cell phone use and walk briskly while crossing the street, and walk bicycles across intersections.
If you have suggestions, questions, or concerns about pedestrian safety, please direct them to Assistant to the President Jake Woodford (Jacob.a.woodford@lawrence.edu; or 920-832-6850).
Have a wonderful start to the new term.
Sincerely,
Christopher D. Card
Vice President for Student Life
