THE LAWRENTIAN VOL. CXXXV NO. 21 Appleton, Wisconsin May 4, 2018 Formal connects students with Brewster Village

Rikke Sponheim Staff Writer ______To provide a fun evening for the residents at Brewster Village, Delta Gamma and the group Building Intergenerational Relationships (BIR), held the Brewster Village Formal in the Somerset Room of the Warch Campus Center on Saturday, April 28 from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. Brewster Village provides both a long-term nursing home environ- ment and short-term rehabilita- tion depending on the needs of the resident. Many of the residents of Brewster Village do not have much opportunity to go out, so according to junior Sarah Grubbe, this formal was a rewarding experience for the residents. The residents of Brewster Village who attended were pro- vided with transportation to Lawrence by Brewster Village, where they were greeted by mem- bers of Delta Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Sigma Phi Epsilon had created boutonnieres for the resi- dents, and Delta Gamma decorated Somerset with an “Under the Sea” Students from Greek Life organizations entertained the residents of Brewster Village with music and conversation. theme “that the residents really Photo by Emma Gilshannon. loved,” said Grubbe.

May 4, 2018 SPORTS 5 THE LAWRENTIAN Athlete of the Week Josh Janusiak By Arianna Cohen This week I sat down with Lawrence’s own version of “The Flash,” junior Josh Janusiak. Josh has continuously broken his own records year after year. On April 27, Josh smashed his own school record in the 10,000 meters and ran one of the nation’s top times at the Hillsdale College Gina STANDINGS Relays. His time currently ranks 11th in all of NCAA Division III. We can’t wait to see more from Josh this season!
