Illustration by Eliana Whitehouse Out of frustration with communication at Lawrence, the Shoutbox Facebook group was created by Lawrence students for Lawrence community members on May 27, 2019. According to the group’s header, the Shoutbox is “The all-in-one communication platform for clubs, events and community announcements.” Students can post any announcement or question in the Shoutbox regarding public events, community announcements, or general comments and concerns. Creator and head-administrator of the Shoutbox junior Nick Mayerson describes the page as a medium in-between the local community and Lawrence as a whole. “From my perspective, I think it’s this kind of middle ground that didn’t exist before,” Mayerson said.
