Departure of Laurie Ehlers, RN Educator

It is with mixed emotions that we share the news that Laurie Ehlers will be leaving her role as RN Educator for Lawrence University effective April 11, 2018.  Laurie has been offered an exciting opportunity to grow her career in the area of diabetes education, and as a result, will no longer be supporting Lawrence University as our onsite RN Educator for faculty and staff.

For employees who have been working with Laurie, she will contact you to finalize plans and coordinate next steps until her successor is named. She will continue to work her usual hours of Tuesday from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm and Wednesday from 3:00 – 5:00 pm through April 11th.

Laurie asked to have the following message relayed to the Lawrence faculty and staff:

“I want to thank everyone for welcoming me into the Lawrence community.  I’ve greatly enjoyed my time here, especially having the opportunity to work with and get to know so many of you. I hope that my presence has proven to be helpful and that you continue to find ways to make wellness an important aspect of your daily life.  Stay well!”

Until her departure on April 11th, you can continue to contact Laurie at laurie.ehlers@lawrence.edu or 920-832-7498.
