On Wednesday, March 31, Lawrence University’s Student Organization for University Programming (SOUP) hosted their Adopt a Rock! event. Due to cam- pus-wide COVID-19 restrictions taking place during the first two weeks of the term, the event was grab-and-go style. Students were able to pick up a carton of supplies in Warch Campus Center.
Within the carton provided, stu- dents were given their own pet rock, as well as a pair of googly eyes to decorate with. Beyond the supplies provided, cre- ativity was left up to each individual stu- dent. SOUP, as a way to engage students during the two week-long campus quar- antine, will continue to offer other grab- and-go art-related projects until students are able to safely gather for events.

The Lawrence University campus offered students two opportunities to reach out and meet new friends over the Valentine’s Day weekend with the Palentines event on Saturday and the Speed Friending event on Sunday. Both events paired students up for timed encounters, helping participants find similarities and foster friendships.
On Saturday, the 13th, Palentines, organized by the Student Organization for University Programming (SOUP) and the Lawrence University Community Council (LUCC), took place virtually. It used the website glimpse.com, which matches participants together for limited amounts of time. If participants wanted, they could add more time and continue talking, but after time runs out or the call is ended, participants are matched up with someone new. The platform was accessible for those unfamiliar with it and made meeting a new friend safe and easy, all while maintaining social-distancing guidelines.
