Pro Tip of the Week

Fonts

Typography (another word for fonts) is used to identify and distinguish an organization. Used consistently in all university communications, typography assures that Lawrence is easily and quickly recognized.

University-approved Typefaces

University-approved typefaces must be used for all other university communications. A primary and a secondary serif typeface and a primary and secondary sans serif typeface are available for use by staff and faculty in printed university communications materials.

Serif typefaces have small lines/tails attached to them.
Sans serif typefaces do not.

You can see the difference in common typefaces like Times New Roman (serif) and Arial (sans serif).

Spoerl Lecture Series

Five Bay Landscapes: Curious Explorations of the Great Lakes Basin

Thursday, Jan. 11 | 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Steitz Hall 102

Karen Lutsky and Sean Burkholder will present excerpts and insights from their recently published book, Five Bay Landscapes: Curious Explorations of the Great Lakes Basin.

Both landscape architecture professors who have been working and studying the shorelines for many years, the book shares their practice of exploring and “meeting” five different bays within the basin as richly layered and complex places. Through a mix of theory, history, experiential documentation, and representational methods, the book shares their explorations of each bay; and argues for pluralistic and transcalar methods of knowledge creation in order to better design with these critical, dynamic places.
