Facilities Notice: Stakes

It’s that time of year—tents, inflatables, and outdoor fun are back!

For everyone’s safety, please DO NOT drive stakes into the ground without first contacting Facilities to request utility locates. Our campus has a complex network of underground power lines, data cables, and plumbing. Striking one of these could lead to power outages, data loss, or even dangerous situations like electrical shock or sewage backups.

To avoid serious damage or injury, submit a work order to Facilities before setting up anything that requires staking.

And remember: if you see a flag, that means “NO”—stakes cannot be placed in that area.

Thank you for helping keep our campus safe!

Summer Experience Funding Highlight: Eloise Frick Cherven Fund

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.

The Eloise Frick Cherven Fund

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.

Priority Deadline: March 28, 2025
