As we have in the past, Lawrence has arranged for motor coach shuttle service back to campus after winter break. The Office of Student Affairs will subsidize the cost of the motor coach bus to make the trip affordable to all students.
DATE: Monday, Jan. 2, 2017 (the day before Winter Term classes begin)
DEPARTURE TIMES AND LOCATIONS:
COST: $20
Space is limited and students must sign up in advance—seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please plan to arrive the departure location 15 minutes early to make sure the motor coach will leave at the scheduled time. Look for a large Lamers motor coach (usually painted white and red).
To sign up, stop by Raymond House between the hours of 8 a.m.–noon or 1–5 p.m. Monday through Friday to pay the $20 (cash or check) and reserve your seat.
