This week kicks off our campus’ branch of the “Help for The Homeless” Hygiene Drive! Currently, local homeless shelters in the Fox Valley and elsewhere receive no federal funding for hygiene products such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, and toothpaste, and rely almost exclusively on donations from the community to provide for these needs. This drive is also occurring off campus in Appleton and in other areas in the state of Wisconsin.
Not having access to hygiene products can mean not staying in school for children who get bullied due to their resulting lack of hygiene, and increased risk of diseases for homeless individuals of all ages. In particular, communicable diseases that can easily be mitigated through sustained hygiene often are able to spread in populations that don’t have access to above hygiene products.
All donations can be placed in the collection boxes located on the third floor of the Warch Campus Center, the third floor of the Wellness Center, the Steitz atrium, and the lobby of the Conservatory. You can email me at thomas.b.goldberg@lawrence.edu if you have any questions regarding donations or the organizations involved, or you can also seek out more information at www.thefamily.net. We appreciate any and all help on behalf of the homeless community here in the Fox Valley.
Special thanks to The Family on 91.9 FM for making this event possible.
Thanks and Sincerely,
Tom Goldberg, Class of 2020

We will discuss how these varieties of English are not more correct or incorrect but simply different. We will also discuss language attitudes and ideologies inherent in the idea of standard Englishes and how to recognize and avoid linguistic discrimination. Our aim is to offer practical guidance to inclusive interactions across the range of Englishes employed in our community. Please RSVP at div-inclusion@lawrence.edu by February 25th, 2018.
