It’s On Us

Next week, February 12-18, 2024, begins our annual It’s on Us Week. We ask that all Lawrentians wear teal and/or a teal ribbon in support of the cause on Tuesday February 13, 2024. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with additional ways to participate and remember, it’s on us to stand up to sexual misconduct.

What is It’s on Us Week?

It’s on Us Week is a call to action for all Lawrentians to act as active bystanders and stop problematic behaviors. It’s on us to stop sexual violence! It’s on Us is a national movement and honored by several institutions at different points in the year. We focus on healthy relationships, everyday consent, respect active bystander training, and of course hope to inspire all Lawrentians to reflect on their role in creating a caring and safe community!

Meet Your Hosts

The week draws on a huge number of campus partners or collaboration and support. If you would like to become involved, please contact the SHARE committee and/or attend a SAHRE meeting. We are incredibly thankful for the efforts of each of our partners in working to raise awareness and inspire the call to action for all to practice as active bystanders!

How to Be an Active Bystander

If you cannot attend the Monday evening event but would like to host a group bystander intervention training, please contact Erin Buenzli, buenzlie@lawrence.edu. Below is a quick summary to get you stared as active bystanders on campus, information pulled from RAINN.

  • Create a distraction: The purpose of distraction is to interrupt the incident, safely, by communicating with the individual at risk and giving them an opportunity to safely exit the potentially dangerous situation.
  • Ask Directly: Asking directly to the individual at risk can help you determine if an action needs to be taken immediately to ensure a safe environment.
  • Rally Others: If you need to, enlist another person to support you. Remember, there is always help on campus from CAs, Area Coordinators, or Campus Safety.
  • Extend Support: Offer them appropriate resources and options for how you can support them.

About ERGs

Employee Resource Groups are intended to create community, provide resources, increase social networks, and encouraging a sense of belonging at a workplace. They’re a good place to find a friend, someone to have a coffee or a beer with, to problem solve or bounce ideas off, and with whom you have some aspect of identity in common.

All of these groups operate differently and have different needs. Some meet regularly and do things together; others are more loosely connected community who gather only for certain events; still others rarely meet but maintain resources available to them when needed. It really depends on the group.

Our current groups:

The following groups currently have no leadership:

  • Global Employees
  • Emerging Professionals

If you’re interested in joining or leading, please contact Helen Boyd Kramer, at boydh@lawrence.edu.

We’d also love to hear if there are any groups you’d like to create! These groups change depending on who is in them, so you’re welcome to create one if none of these serves you in ways that help you feel included and welcome.

The DEI office is happy to advise and assist in your creation, planning, and communication for your group.

Important News on Memorial Chapel

Built in 1919, age and the Wisconsin elements have taken their toll on our beautiful Chapel and its façade is experiencing compromised structural integrity.

Starting Monday, November 6, shoring of the façade with scaffolding will begin to minimize further damage as we head into winter. During this process, you should enter Memorial Chapel through the Shattuck entrance. Once the shoring is complete, you will be able to enter safely through the front doors.

Safety is priority! Please be aware of your surroundings at all times while the shoring is being built.
