  • The Lawrence 50-Year Connection
    The Lawrence 50-Year Connection LEARNING FOR A LIFETIME By Doug Powell ’56 and Ted Katzoff ’65 Following the celebration of the successful conclusion of the Lawrence capital campaign in October 2011 a group of alumni met in Appleton to discuss forming the Lawrence 50-Year Connection (50YC). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways of giving older Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer alumni greater incentive to remain engaged with their university and with each other after their 50th Reunions. We also have discovered that the 50YC program interests younger alumni and current students. One the goals of the 50YC was to provide value added to Lawrence University. Among the activities we visualized were assembling an oral history archive, providing guest lectures or panel discussions for students and alumni, assisting at road shows and college nights, and providing a Senior Resource Panel of active alumni wiling to donate their time and talent to other projects on campus. What we did not imagine at the beginning was the opportunity to contribute to a book in progress. Five members of the 50YC have written essays for the book, Learning for a Lifetime: Liberal Arts and the Life of the Mind at Lawrence University, edited by faculty and staff members David Burrows, Jerald Podair and Craig Gagnon ’76. Following the essays is a reflection about a liberal arts education by Provost and Dean of the Faculty David Burrows. We hope you enjoy this newsletter.
