Kindness is a tradition worth embracing.

17 Days of Kindness, a campaign launched last spring in advance of the inauguration of President Laurie A. Carter, returns for a second year, beginning April 27 and carrying through May 13.

Led by the Office of Student Engagement, Activities, and Leadership (SEAL), it will feature giveaways across campus, free chair massages, the making of s’mores with President Carter at Hamar House, karaoke, Big Prize Bingo, a community scavenger hunt, and more.

17 Days of Kindness is meant to remind us of what is a year-round message at Lawrence—kindness matters. Putting a spotlight on gratitude and outreach in big and small ways is quickly growing into a Spring Term tradition.

Stay tuned to @LawrenceUni on Instagram through the 17 Days for virtual opportunities to celebrate and practice kindness. Also watch for Instagram posts from SEAL @lu_officeofseal and SOUP @lawrencesoup throughout the campaign.
