We the Lawrentians.

Lawrentians are an adventurous kind. When you combine our College of Liberal Arts & Sciences with our acclaimed Conservatory of Music and Appleton itself, you see just how many opportunities our students have available to them. Mix in undergraduate research and our trimester schedule, which offers more time to focus on schoolwork but also gain experiences between academic terms, and it's no wonder why Lawrentians routinely graduate ready to make a difference in an ever-changing world.
