Makerspace and Pedagogy: How to Integrate the LU Makerspace into Your Courses; Or, How Can This Stuff Be Used with Classes and Stuff? with Angela Vanden Elzen

You may have heard about the fabulous Lawrence University Makerspace located in the heart of the Mudd Library, but you may not know how it can support the work you do here at Lawrence. At this coffeehouse, we’ll briefly share the ever-expanding collection of cool technologies and tools available in the makerspace, then look at specific examples of how this equipment is used in higher education from a wide range of disciplines. Attendees are welcome to tour the makerspace following the presentation. As always, coffee and snacks are provided!

A new chapter for Pa Lee Moua

Dear Lawrence Community-

I am writing to share news about an upcoming staff transition in the Diversity Center and the Student Life Division. As some of you may already be aware, Pa Lee Moua will be leaving her role as Associate Dean of Students for Diversity in late summer. Today I write to share this news and to thank her for the authenticity and dedication she has brought with her every time she has set foot on campus.

After nearly 10 years at Lawrence University, the time has come for a new chapter in her professional life. In the fall, Pa Lee will join the Appleton Area School District as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer. In this position, she will work to evaluate, examine, and change inequitable practices and procedures to ensure an inclusive learning environment for all students in the school district. Pa Lee will also provide comprehensive training and culturally responsive practices for all staff members. Additionally, she will serve as an administrator, advisor, bridge builder, strategic leader and community partner.

As many have experienced firsthand, Pa Lee has been a strong supporter of the Lawrence community. During her tenure Pa Lee has not only led the Diversity Center and related programming, but also spent numerous years as co-chair of the community-wide Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, served as Lawrence’s Posse liaison, participated for multiple terms on the President’s Committee on Diversity Affairs, and provided guidance and support to many Lawrentians.

In the coming weeks, we will begin a search for a position that will continue to lead the Diversity Center, enhance our work of becoming a more inclusive and equitable Lawrence, and to champion students during their time on campus.

Please join me in congratulating Pa Lee on her new role and thanking her for her dedication to the Lawrence Community!

Warm regards,

Curt
