Budget Updates

Dear Colleagues,

Our apologies regarding the amount of time dedicated to budget updates at yesterday’s All Staff Meeting as we ran short on time.  We know that this topic is of importance to many, and it remains our goal to communicate budget updates in a timely and open manner. In follow up, we wanted to be sure that all of the information that was intended to be included is still shared and heard by staff.  You can review materials from the meeting, access ongoing updates and directly submit questions or comments by visiting the Budget Updates page.  We encourage you to submit any questions you may have to Staff Connections (staff_connection@lawrence.edu). 

Thank you, 

Staff Connections
