Beginning with Reunion Weekend in June 2006, alumni were asked to share their memories of Lawrence through oral history interviews. This project will continue at future Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer reunions. Oral histories are an important way of documenting the history of Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer College.
FOR ALUMNI LIVING IN THE APPLETON AREA
Oral histories of alumni living in Appleton may be scheduled at anytime. If you would like to record an oral history interview, contact Julia Stringfellow, University Archivist, at (920) 832-6753 or julia.stringfellow@lawrence.edu.
You may view the following oral history transcripts online or visit the Archives to listen to the audio recordings of the interviews.
