The 2018-19 academic year at Lawrence was one of reflection. We continued to become a more diverse community and enhance the initiatives we provide to ensure that individuals on campus have the cultural competencies they need to be successful on campus and
beyond. At the same time, we embarked on a new campaign, “Truth & Reconciliation at Lawrence: Enhancing Trust, Empathy and Learning.” Truth and reconciliation is a restorative process for initiating healing in a community. Core elements of truth and reconciliation are truthseeking;
the acknowledgment of past conflict, struggles and pain; and
community-based forgiveness and healing. This restorative frame will
guide our work for the next several years.
