Forever a Lawrentian is all about connecting students to our amazing and vast Lawrence University Alumni Association (LUAA); a community of scholars, change-makers, and supporters that all students will become part of when they graduate.

Our alumni want to meet current students and provide them with the support they need to be successful at and beyond Lawrence. At Forever a Lawrentian events in April students engaged with and received advice from the LUAA Board of Directors. These connections will give students an advantage in their career journeys both while at Lawrence and after graduation.

Sophomore Bruna Velez holds a Forever a Lawrentian sign as games are held on campus to win prizes.
