Beyond the Classroom

During Lawrence Launch, you will be fully immersed in life at Lawrence through academics, introduced to staff and departments on campus to assist you, social events with your peers and Program Assistants, and time to develop your own schedule.

In order to know where to be and when, participants can see a calendar at the link below which is updated daily as needed. Participants will also receive a paper copy upon the start of the program, but are encouraged to use the link below every morning to see if any changes have been implemented for that day (rain-site for outdoor activities, workshop is canceled or changed, etc.).

Below is a sample of what a week at Lawrence Launch may look like

Activate LU Network Account before Arriving

Beginning on August 1, all information and updates will be sent to your LU e-mail address, so you will need to set up your LU network login and e-mail access if you have not yet done so. Most communication from the university and specifically from your professors will also come to your LU e-mail, so it’s important to develop the habit of checking your LU email regularly.  PLEASE NOTE:  Your LU e-mail has a long form and a short form, typically yourfirstname.yourlastname@lawrence.edu and LUusername@lawrence.edu respectively. This sometimes causes some confusion, but both addresses send messages to the same place, so you don’t need to worry about checking two different addresses. LU asks that you use the long form to avoid revealing your network username to others.
