Lawrence Today
How are ideas big and small being brought to life by Lawrence students and alumni? In the current issue of Lawrence Today, we explore some of the ways Lawrence students—current and former—are using the tools of their Lawrence educations to bridge the gap from thought to action.
Also in this issue, retiring President Jill Beck reflects on her nine years at LU.
