Celebrating its 40th anniversary during the 2010–11 academic year, the Lawrence London Centre has impacted decades of students and remains the most popular off-campus study choice for Lawrence students. It is my pleasure to introduce the Ruby Jubilee Chronicle, a book that commemorates and celebrates this important anniversary milestone.

  • 2021 Commencement Program
    Colorado Christian University Commencement Saturday, May 8, 2021 Greetings from the President May 8, 2021 Dear CCU Graduates, Congratulations! Today we are celebrating one of the most significant achievements of your life — graduation from Colorado Christian University. You’ve studied hard and God has blessed your efforts. This is a very, very important milestone for you and your family. On behalf of the trustees, faculty, and staff of CCU, I want to express our admiration for all you have achieved. We are honored to have been a part of your experience at CCU and we wish God’s richest blessings for you in the future. We look forward with enthusiasm to hearing of your future achievements. Before you go, let me offer a few words of parting advice: • Take some time right now to think about how you want to invest the next five to ten years of your life. Don’t drift. Prayerfully, set specific goals. It’s been said that if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. • Be a servant with what you know. Knowledge and degrees can make you proud — don’t let them. Instead, be thankful for the opportunity you’ve had and use it to serve others. • Keep learning. As Mark Twain said, “Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.” Don’t let your education stop with your graduation today. Remember — leaders are readers. • Strive for excellence in everything you do. Work hard, give back, choose your friends wisely, and stay close to your family forever. • Most importantly, love and honor Jesus Christ and walk as closely with Him as you can.

  • 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. TRANSITION TO LAWRENCE COLLEGE I also knew my Lawrence application faced various barriers, including not meeting its academic standards By Thomas Oakland ’62 and my inability to afford it.
