This academic year, the Lawrence administration has declared "sustainability" the overarching theme. This means that as a campus community our goal is to increase efficiency and reduce our impact on the environment. One of the most enjoyable ways to engage in sustainable behavior is by consuming locally-grown, organic food.
Recently the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) honored Lawrence with a 2008 Circle of Excellence award for Educational Fundraising. This prestigious award, in the category of Overall Improvement, was based on diverse criteria, including quality of fundraising programs, creativity, use of resources and the impact the university has on its internal and external communities.
Last year's long and bracing winter may have had some of us pining for the warmth of summer. But Emily Thiem ('08), Ben Kraemer ('08) and Andrew Siliski ('09) must have been unfazed -- they decided to spend nine weeks, from late June to late August, on a glacier.
Steve Syverson is very passionate about his jobs at Lawrence University. Through his position as the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, he has benefited our university with many great students who have contributed to Lawrence and come to love being here.
