Valentine s Day festivities help students make connections

February 19, 2021 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.  

SOUP aims to promote campus community this winter

January 15, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic has created a new set of challenges for events on campus. Despite these new challenges, the Student Organization for University Programming (SOUP) has managed to host a variety of both in-person and virtual events.   Senior Stephanie Meyer, co-president of SOUP, feels that the pandemic has made it difficult to form a sense of community at Lawrence. Because of this, she and other members of SOUP have been taking measures to combat the difficulties caused by COVID-19.  SOUP has been working with the administration to ensure safety as a priority at each event. Additionally, they have created a virtual aspect to every in-person event to ensure that students off-campus aren’t excluded from participating in these events.
