There are many talented Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer alumni out in the world doing great things, and it is a pleasure to be able to recognize some of their accomplishments each year! Awards are granted for professional achievement as well as for service to society and service to Lawrence. We would be delighted to hear ideas from you about alumni who should be considered for these honors.
Nominations for alumni awards are forwarded to the Lawrence University Alumni Association Nominations and Awards Committee for research. This research can span several years, but awards are timed to allow alumni to receive them in front of their classmates at their reunions.
