Winter Carnival is a part of the Lawrence tradition “LUgge,” which captures the essence of what it means to be a Lawrentian.
LUgge is inspired by a Danish and Norwegian word, Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”), which describes a feeling of coziness and contentment. It is associated with enjoying the simple things in life, such as spending time with one’s family and friends, relaxing in comfortable surroundings, and indulging in small pleasures like good food and drink.
Don’t miss out on the fun, food, free merch, and festivities!

An award-winning documentary narrated by Golden Globe nominee Blair Underwood, First Generation tells the story of four high school students – an inner city athlete, a small town waitress, a Samoan warrior dancer, and the daughter of migrant field workers – who set out to break the cycle of poverty and bring hope to their families and communities by pursuing a college education. Shot over the course of three years and featuring some of our nation’s top educational experts (Richard Kahlenberg, The Century Foundation; J.B. Schramm, College Summit; Dr. Bill Tierney, University of Southern California), the film explores the problem of college access faced by first generation and low-income students and how their success has major implications for the future of our nation.

Because students leave at different times based on their finals schedule, we are unable to offer longer distances for the shuttles at the end of Fall.
Want to see the sights of Appleton? Drive ten of your closest friends to Woodman’s? Learn shortcuts around town and make a competitive wage?
We need a pool of drivers because many hands makes lighter work for all. Shifts can be flexible, and the work is easy!
Becoming a Lawrence approved driver is part of the process, but that’s a simple records check. Apply first, and you’re on your way. Students will be trained on the routes and expectations.
Drive LU students to shopping centers within 5 miles of Lawrence during terms, and drive students to and from the airport at the start and end of terms.
Minimum requirements:
