4th Friday Soup and Salad for Staff and Faculty – Tomorrow!

October 27 from 11:30-1 at the Center for SRL.
TOPIC = COMMUNITY

Community, is a basic human need. When we talk about work/life balance at Lawrence, we do so with the understanding that community in the work place is essential for us to thrive and contribute our best work. Bring a story to share of one way that the Lawrence environment supports you and enlarges your community of support. We will also reflect together on where community building fits in your priorities and why–what motivates you to step out of your comfort zone to develop your work community and include others?

Upstander Training

This training is open to ALL Lawrence Students, Staff and Faculty Members.

The Bystander/Upstander training will help you build the skills to interrupt bullying or other harmful behaviors and comments. Learn how to become an agent for change and co-creator of positive narratives about race and other identities. Participants will unpack real-life scenarios to enable them to effectively challenge prejudice in our community.

Date & Time: November 13, 4:30-8:30 PM

Location: Warch Camper Center – Somerset Room (324)

Please RSVP to div-inclusion@lawrence.edu by November 10.

2017-2018 Convocation Series – “Is Peace Possible?” with Colman McCarthy

Tuesday, October 31, 2017
11:10 a.m.
“Is Peace Possible?”
Colman McCarthy

Award-winning journalist, educator and long-time peace activist, Colman McCarthy directs the Center for Teaching Peace in Washington, D.C., which he founded in 1985.

The son of an immigration lawyer and a stay-at-home mother who often welcomed refugees straight from Ellis Island into their home, McCarthy spent nearly 30 years as a columnist for the Washington Post. Since 1999, he has written a weekly column for The National Catholic Reporter.

As an educator who believes if we don’t teach children peace, someone else will teach them violence, McCarthy has taught courses on nonviolence and peace literature for more than 30 years. He is the author of 14 books, including 2002’s “I’d Rather Teach Peace” in which he chronicles his experiences introducing the theory and practice of creative peacemaking to classrooms ranging from a suburban Washington, D.C. high school to a prison for juveniles to Georgetown University Law Center.

McCarthy earned a bachelor’s degree from Spring Hill College, a small Jesuit school in Mobile, Ala.

His appearance is supported by the Class of 1968 Peace and Social Activism Fund.
