Monday, April 8 | 7 p.m.
Warch 225 – Hurvis Room

Lawrence Christian Fellowship presents The Mark Drama, a 90-minute immersive theatre-in-the-round dramatization of the story of Jesus, as told in the Gospel of Mark.

The next upcoming election is April 2, the 2024 Spring Election and Presidential Preference Vote. This is a great time to get out and make your choices known. Progress happens at the polls!

Lawrence wants to help you get there, so we are outlining a few helpful details and also providing a few areas of assistance to make sure you have all you need.

1. Voter registration
2. Voter Identification
3. Access to the polls

If you have not voted before in Wisconsin or if you have moved since you last voted, you will need to register to vote for the election. 

VOTER REGISTRATION:
Register in person: Visit us at City Hall and register in person with the City Clerk’s Office through Friday, March 29, 2024. To speed up the process, please access the registration form online and have it filled out when you come in, or fill out the hardcopy form prior to coming to the counter.  Please be sure to bring proof of your current residence. 

Register at the polls: Go to your polling place on Election Day and register in person.  You will be able to vote immediately after completing registration, so be sure to bring your proof of residence (Voter ID-see below) as well as your photo ID.
*Please note that online and mailed registrations deadline of March 13 has already passed. You will need to register in person if you wish to vote in the April 2nd election.

This form will speed your registration process if you complete it in advance, and it requires your street address at Lawrence, not the University address of 711 E. Boldt Way. 

You can find your campus housing street addresses at https://www.lawrence.edu/offices/volunteer/student-voting-information

VOTER IDENTIFICATION: More than just your Lawrence ID card You may be asked to show your proof of Lawrence residency when you go to vote. The City Clerk has a record of your address, but you will need to bring a voter ID card which can be accessed here. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT SHOULD NOT BE SKIPPED.

ACCESS TO THE POLLS: A shuttle will loop a route between the polling places and the Wriston Turnaround throughout the day, beginning at 7 a.m. and ending at 7 p.m. Both polling places are less than a mile from the main campus. Note below that not every campus resident votes at the same location.

IMDB describes the film as, “A fictional account of one incredible night where icons Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown gathered discussing their roles in the Civil Rights Movement and cultural upheaval of the 60s.”

We hope to see you there!

This event is hosted by CODA, the Diversity Collaborative, and the D&IC.

If you need a ride to or from the local airports over Spring Break, look no further.

Students can prepare for a smooth transition away from or returning to campus during the Spring Break transitions. You can sign up for a free shuttle to the Green Bay or Appleton Airports, and we’ll be there to assist. Times are pre-designated to accommodate as many students as we can.
