Goodwill NCW Drive

Let’s come together and support an important mission!

Lawrence University is competing to gather the most donations of gently used items during the Goodwill NCW “Mission Champion” Donation Drive in July.  It’s us against Fox Valley Technical College and Heid Music, and we want the bragging rights! If Lawrence collects the most donations, we will be the Donation Drive champions and earn community recognition at Goodwill NCW’s annual gala October 2.

Look for the donation boxes in the Warch Campus Center (to the immediate right of the main entrance) and drop off your gently used donations before August 1, 2024. Please visit the Goodwill NCW Donation page to review a list of UNACCEPTED items.

With your support, Goodwill NCW can help our neighbors access job-skills training and professional opportunities through programs offered by Goodwill NCW.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Garrett Singer, Special Assistant to the President at Lawrence University, with any questions (partnerships@lawrence.edu).

June 8 – A busy day in downtown Appleton!

As you make your plans for Commencement celebrations, keep in mind that Saturday, June 8 will be a busy day in downtown Appleton!

The Downtown Appleton Farm Market will run 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. from Drew Street to Appleton Street, including Houdini Plaza.

The Appleton Flag Day Parade is scheduled for 2 p.m. The route begins at Oneida St/Wisconsin Ave and heads west to State St, then south to College Ave. It continues east and turns north on Drew St to City Park.

There will also be a Pre-Parade Patriotic Concert at Noon in Houdini Plaza.

Appleton Downtown Farmer’s Market Volunteers Needed

Lawrence is looking for staff and faculty members who are interested in volunteering their time supporting our ongoing efforts to be involved in the Appleton community. This is a great way to have some fun downtown and give away free stuff.

June 1 & June 8, 2024

 If you are able to volunteer, please sign up here! Primarily, we need assistance with setting up the booth, interacting with people and handing out free Lawrence T-shirts, candy and more. At the end we will need your assistance with some takedown tasks.

We are hoping to have at least two staff/faculty volunteers at the booth throughout the event.

Blu will also be making an appearance!

Senior Class Gift

As graduation approaches, it’s time to consider donating to the senior class gift as a Lawrence tradition to commemorate the senior class.

This year, the senior committee has chosen to raise $1,000 to plant a tree with plaque on campus as the gift from the class of 2024. The donation amount starts at $5, and students who donate will receive a special pin to wear with your regalia for graduation.

Give to the Senior Class Gift!

If goal not reached, all money will proceed to the Lawrence Fund. The Lawrence Fund supports all current students and funds scholarships, Björklunden, the Conservatory, Athletics, and Student Life.
