A message of hope from President Black
We invite you to watch this universal message of optimism from Lakeland University’s president, David Black, as we continue to navigate these fast-changing times.
We want to hear from you! Are you or your fellow alumni digging in to support your community in this time of need? Are you on the front lines? How are you showing your Lakeland “grit”? We invite you to share your stories with us by emailing them to alumni@lakeland.edu . We may feature your stories on our alumni Facebook page or future publications!
Nominate your peers
Each year, Lakeland University honors distinguished alumni and community members for their achievements. While we are able to tell many of our Lakeland success stories, we rely on our alumni to help us identify stories we may have missed along the way. There is still time to submit nominations for the 2020 alumni awards! The celebration will take place during Homecoming weekend. Follow the link below to see all the categories.
TEDxLakelandUniversity
Last month, a selection of LU students, faculty and community members presented their “ideas worth spreading” at Lakeland University’s second annual TEDx event, held in the Bradley Theatre. The theme for the evening presentation was “Five Years from Now” with each of the nine speakers posing their ideas about how they see the world into the future. Congratulations to each speaker and the event’s organizers for a well-done event! Be sure to check out Lakeland’s Facebook Page for a selection of photos from the event.
