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 $12.50 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).
If you would like to view an earlier Lunch at Lawrence presentation, see Sic Transit Gloria: The Passing of Historical Reputations by Richard A. Harrison.
A complete listing of Lunch at Lawrence programs
from 1993-1994 to 2006-2007 is also available on-line.
