The Food at Lawrence

We visited Lawrence on Friday and our student tour guide showed us the new Lawrence vegetable garden being tended by students. (It’s a project that students suggested arising out of a sustainability seminar that was quickly approved by the school.) It is literally 100 feet from the site of the new Campus Center on the bluff overlooking the river. She told us that the produce will go directly to food services – so you can’t get much fresher than that!

(This was of little interest to OUR son, unfortunately, as he’s not exactly a vegetarian. More like a pizzerian.)

This was our second visit at Lawrence, as we had visited with our older son several years ago, although he matriculated elsewhere. Lawrence was just as impressive the second time around. Actually moreso, since the old student Union and the Commons were the dowdiest places on campus during our first visit, and the spectacular new Campus Center, which will replace both, will be open by fall.
