For well over two decades, Lawrence University has sponsored a program of informative luncheon lectures for the Fox Valley community. Known as "Lunch at Lawrence," these gatherings provide an informal opportunity to hear from a diverse group of Lawrence faculty and distinguished visiting faculty on a wide range of issues and topics.
The cost of each luncheon is $13.00 and payment may be made upon return of the individual advance reservation card for the luncheon or at the door (reservations, however, are still expected).
2009-2010 Schedule
All lunches held Friday at 11:30 a.m. in the Julie Esch Studio and the Hurvis Room in the Warch Campus Center. Reservations, due the Friday prior to the event, are strongly requested. Please call 832-6553 for more information or e-mail lunch@lawrence.eduFriday, Oct. 9, 2009
