YMCA student memberships
Welcome – or welcome back – to Lawrence. For many years, the partnership between Lawrence University and the Appleton YMCA has provided access to the Y facilities to Lawrence University students at no charge. The Y has given notice that starting this academic year, they need to make a change to the terms of our agreement, and it is expected that these changes will be finalized over the next few weeks and at the latest November 1st. While the details of the ongoing relationship are ironed out, the Y has agreed to continue providing complimentary memberships to students as in the past, with some expanded facility usage benefits. You can pick up an application for Y membership from the Wellness Center then take it to the Y for processing and to get your membership card.
