A Welcome Letter from the Editor

Dear Reader,
I would like to echo a sentiment that I hope
you’ve heard countless times since stepping foot
on the Lawrence campus— Welcome! We’re so
excited you’re here!
This letter is specifically for my fellow first-
generation college students, but I invite all of
you to give it a read. After all, you might find
something you can take with you for yourself or
you may better understand an experience differ-
ent from your own.
Now, to you, the 90 first-gen students in the
Class of 2025. First, if you don’t know what it
means to be first-gen, be not afraid. It doesn’t
disqualify you from the title— hell, I didn’t know
what it meant until I was poking scrambled eggs
around my plate at the First-Gen Breakfast dur-
ing my Welcome Week back in 2018.
The simplest defintions state that being a
first-generation college student means that your
parents did not complete a four-year degree. A
simple defintion, though certainly lacking.
To me, being a first-generation college stu-
dent involves a good deal of bravery and a large
serving of hope. Despite comprising roughly
half of the college student population in the
U.S., we are a group often overlooked or simply
not considered.
But, yet, we continue on.
We continue on despite constantly feeling
like imposters (you’ll hear the term Imposter
Syndrome soon enough if you haven’t already).
When we look back to our homes, we may no
longer see ourselves reflected as clearly as we
once thought. And when we look forward, the
reflection is murky at best.
We certainly did not choose an easy path by
deciding to pursue a four-year degree. Rather
than frightenig you, though, I hope this reminds
you of why you’re here. You chose this difficult
path for a reason; it was not a matter of happen-
stance.
So, remember your reason. Write it down,
and read it often. Then find people who will
remind you of that reason when you forget.
Kate Zoromski and Rose Wasielewski are great
resources for you, and I hope you utilize them.
They’ve been in your shoes and have not forgot-
ten the discomfort.
My reason is to be an advocate for students,
especially the ones who have forgotten their
potential. I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t par-
tially due to my own forgetfulness. Despite this
habit, though, I continue to have hope.
I have hope for you, me and all those scared
shitless first-gens who will come after us. I have
hope that we will not just feel welcomed but
truly cherished.
President Laurie Carter is a proud first-gen,
and you’ll find more like her scattered through-
out the university. I am one of the proud, and I
hope you are too.
I welcome you, and I cherish you. You
belong here just as much as every other student,
and I hope no one — including yourself — makes
you forget that.
—Molly Ruffing, Editor-in-Chief

What advice would you give to incoming

Ask a Lawrentian
students?
»» “Go to concerts, films, lectures and events
not required for your classes. Every term, I
go through the online events calendar on the
LU website to see what might interest me. I
add those things to my personal calendar so
I can make time to attend them.”
»» “Your productivity does not determine your
worth as a human. Take breaks when you
need to. Reach out to others and ask for
help, even your professors.”
»» “Remember: Every other incoming student
is just as nervous as you are!”
What advice would you give to students
who are experiencing Appleton for the
first time?
»» “It’s ok to not feel at home in this city
right away. It’s an adjustment for every-
one. It might feel incredibly small or over-
whelmingly large depending on where you
come from. The political climate or diversity
might be nothing like your home town. It’ll
be a shock and it can feel very alien at first,
but that’s ok. Find things in the city that
remind you of your hometown, like tradi-
tional restaurants or niche shops. Explore
with a friend from a similar place as you so
that you can both take in the city and talk
about the changes as you go along.”
»» “Try not to get hit by cars!”
»» “Don’t try to be a hero in the winter and
walk around campus in shorts when it’s
below freezing. Wisconsin gets cold, and the
smartest thing that you can do is dress for
the weather.”
»» “Go on walks in the neighborhoods around
campus, it helps to not feel as trapped!”
What/who is a hidden gem of Lawrence?
»» “The trails, the underground tunnel (so use-
ful in the winter,) the Harry Potter room in
the library, the individual study rooms in
the library.”
»» “Wellness services and counseling staff.
They care about you SO much. Also Julie H
in the CAS.”
»» “SLUG hill. When the grass is mowed and
it’s nice out, it’s fun to sit out there with a
cafe drink and look over the river. Or when
there’s enough snow to sled down it... If
you’re brave enough, it’s pretty fun too.”
»» “Kate Zoromski! (Light of my life <3)”
»» “She’s super new, but definitely Prof.
Sommer in the music theory department!”
What advice do you have specifically for
first-year students?
»» “Try new things, but also listen to your gut
and your body. Don’t feel pressured to do
something if you really don’t want to!”
»» “The term can go by really fast, 10 weeks is
no joke, so try to take time to relax, espe-
cially during the last three weeks. Eighth
week can be notoriously taxing.”
»» The first friends you make at Welcome
Week may not be your friends forever, and
that’s okay. There are so many wonderful
students to meet at Lawrence!
»» “If you are struggling in classes go talk to
your professors!! They can’t help if they
don’t know!”
»» “Don’t be afraid to try new things. You won’t
always succeed, but you will learn some-
thing if you are reflecting on your experi-
ences. Ask others for advice, but remember
“your mileage may vary”— don’t make up
your mind about something or someone
before you encounter it/them yourself.”
What advice do you have specifically for
sophomores?
»» “It’s ok to feel like last year wasn’t so great.
You started college during a pandemic!
Making friends, connecting with professors
and taking advantage of experiences are
all hard enough during a normal freshman
year, but even more so for you. You have so
much more time to do all of these things and
to discover who and what makes you hap-
piest here. It’s completely normal if feeling
connected and happy here takes some time.
It’s alright to not feel the best right now. But
we’re all rooting for you this year and give
you our support!”
»» “Don’t feel intimidated by choosing a major.
Choose something you’re excited to learn
about and remember that you still have two
more years so it’s all flexible.”
»» “It’s okay to grow apart from your first-year
friends, you will make new friends.”
What advice do you have specifically for
transfer students?
»» “It might feel like friend groups are already
established, but everyone is looking for new
friends! Don’t be afraid to ask someone to
grab lunch or hang out after class. The com-
munity here is so friendly, and someone
would be thrilled to get to know you! Also,
don’t be afraid to let others know you’re a
transfer student — upperclassmen are super
excited to have you here and are eager to
help you feel welcome!”
»» “You are welcome here!!”

of majors, interests, identity and background and experience. This year, the Council We’ve had a few folks reach out with interest about

A Note From the Judicial Board

Welcome all new and returning Lawrentians!

Judicial Board is a board of roughly 15 students, sophomores to

seniors, whose purpose is to enforce the social code. The social code
can be found in the student handbook, but, in short, it deals with all
areas of student life that are non-academic. Complaints of a student
violation of the social code are brought to J-Board by any member of the
campus community, and these complaints are then further evaluated.
A hearing of the board might occur to speak with the complainant, the
accused and any witnesses of the violation in question. It is the board
members’ job to determine whether or not this violation did occur and
what sanctions should be imposed. A unique characteristic of J- Board
is that it is completely student-run. While we do have an advisor — Curt
Lauderdale, the Dean of Students — he serves as a non-voting member.
The students of the board are the sole voting members and get to make
the final decisions on all hearings. These decisions can then only be
appealed to the President of the university.
The goal of J-Board is to educate students about the social code, why
it should be followed and why it is so important to our campus. This
goal is achieved through campus outreach and hearing sanctions that
are educational, rather than punitive, in nature. The social code ensures
that everyone in our campus community feels safe and included, which
we feel is integral to the Lawrence experience.

J-Board is always here for you! If you have any questions please feel
free to reach out to our advisor, Curt Lauderdale, or the chair of the
board, Jessica Toncler.
