Report from Financial Services

Lawrence closed a successful fiscal year with a record $284 million in our endowment, thanks to the generosity of so many donors who are supporting initiatives for full-need scholarships, endowed faculty positions and significant other support for the campus. We continue to focus on offering an affordable and accessible education, working to minimize our comprehensive fee increases while growing our endowed scholarship pool, and we strive to be good stewards of the institution with prudent management of our expenses.

Vice President for Finance and Administration
