Community Conversations at Lawrence University are a series of structured dialogues that facilitate authentic communication across some critical area of perceived difference. The purpose is to practice civil deliberation while promoting greater intergroup understanding and trust. We want to help participants begin to move beyond political orthodoxies in order to see ourselves
as diverse but related travelers on life’s journey together with shared concerns and values. It will also serve as a basis to develop collaborative strategies to increase the well-being, civility and participation of people across the political spectrum in all aspects of the life of our campus.
Please RSVP to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu by Monday, March 27.

Last fall, a small group of Veterans and other individuals met to discuss the issue of Veteran Suicide. The Department of Veteran Affairs determined that 22 Veterans commit suicide each day in this country. Further, PTSD is an issue related not only to Veterans, but as you know to many of our Firefighters and Law Enforcement. A documentary film entitled “Project 22” was released in 2015, with the goal of bringing national attention to this issue. Link to the trailer is: https://vimeo.com/121737934
Wisconsin and the Fox Cities are not immune to this problem. A small group has worked together collaboratively to create an event called Connect to Courage: Keeping Our Veterans Alive. The event will take place on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 from 1:30-8:30 at the PAC. This event is for Veterans, their families and ANYONE who works with or cares about our Veterans.
Thank you for your support.
