“This Isn’t How It Happens” by Shira Hanovich
Kate is dead. At least, that’s what everyone at this funeral seems to think. But when she gets out of her coffin and insists that this isn’t how it happens, her guests are stuck trying to bend to her will. As Kate gets closer to determining how the events of this funeral play out, the threat of death and existential fear loom ever closer.
“The House on the Hill” by Madeline Guest
Adam is dead. But he wasn’t a few minutes ago. As he tries to understand what the rest of his life (or, rather, death) will look like, 3 other new friends begin to figure out why they’ve been left behind.
“Static Cling” by Nina Broberg
When student-athlete Faith Mitchell is recovering from a major surgery following a terrible break to her elbow, she comes to believe she is being haunted by a malevolent ghost coming to take revenge on her. Her neighbor, Jillian Vincent, tries to help her get to the bottom of what’s really haunting her.

From now until the end of March, we will be highlighting various funds and summer internships available to students! Through the generous support of alumni and friends, Lawrence students are eligible to apply for funding to support summer internships or projects.
This fund was established in 1993 in memory of Eloise Frick Cherven, Lawrence University Class of 1976, by her family, friends, and classmates. Mrs. Cherven was a dedicated geology major who later earned a Master of Science degree from California State University at Los Angeles and forged a successful career in petroleum and environmental geology.
The fund supports student projects and research that pursue some line of investigation or other activity that would broaden their experience or knowledge, help others, and prove of future value. Projects in any area are eligible, though preference will be given to students majoring in or projects related to geology.
Questions? Michelle Buchinger can help! Email her at michelle.m.buchinger@lawrence.edu.

The everyday of living a life altered by climate change is a tremendous amount of work, especially in vulnerable communities that had little to do with causing it. Dr. Raka Sen, a sociologist from Arizona State University, will utilize her work on the Sundarban region of India and Bangladesh to discuss what the additional labor due to climate change looks like on the ground and how these changes are accumulating to larger societal and structural changes. This talk will get us thinking about issues of global environmental justice and how we can imagine a more just climate future.
