Norman Corwin's radio drama "On a Note of Triumph" broadcast for VE Day in 1945 made broadcast history and brought American radio drama to its zenith -- all in the same moment. A shared love of Corwin's work brought together two Lawrentians, Eric Simonson '82, who won the 2006 Academy Award for documentary short subject, and featured contributor Professor Timothy X. Troy '85.
All Lawrence alumni, parents, and friends are warmly invited to join Eric Simonson '82 and Tim Troy '85 for a talk about Corwin and their collaboration followed by a screening of Eric's award-winning film. Explore why Corwin's masterpiece touched the nation and how his legacy still speaks to us today.
Read Tim Troy's Lawrence Today article for more background information.

She gave these pieces nuances that made them meaningful on a human, everyday level. The music spoke directly to the listener, with neither obfuscation nor pretense."

Join the Lawrence University Alumni Association of the Bay Area for a lively discussion of one of the most tumultuous decades of the 20th century in one of its epicenters. Although hard to believe, the 1960s are considered part of our historical past. Were the '60s really unique? Was there truly a revolution, and if so, what difference has it made to our world today? If you've ever wondered how historians answer these questions, we hope you'll attend this event.
Professor Jerald Podair created the Lawrence course entitled "Reconsidering the 1960s" and led a popular session on this topic at last year's Alumni College. Dr. Podair, a graduate of NYU, Columbia School of Law, and Princeton University, joined the Lawrence faculty in 1998. A specialist in 20th century American urban history and race relations, Podair's doctoral dissertation was awarded the 1998 Allan Nevins Prize by the Society of American Historians.
All alumni, parents, and friends are warmly invited. Those who are able, meet at the Berkeley International House at 6:30 for our "'60s tour" of UC Berkeley led by Barbara Andersen, '93, Berkeley recruitment administrator. At 7:30 we'll return to the International House (Homeroom) for a buffet dinner and our presentation by Professor Podair. Whatever your age, bring your own opinions and personal recollections of the '60s to this event ... a spirited discussion is promised.
