What is 17 Days of Kindness?

17 Days of Kindness is a Lawrentian tradition that showcases the best of our community through a mix of events, gratitude, and a celebration of the intentional and random acts of kindness that make �������ý��Ƶ so special. There will be events across campus that will span the 17 Days that will give faculty, staff, and students the opportunities to share gratitude with those who have impacted �������ý��Ƶ students virtually and in person, and kindness to ourselves through self-care.

Mark your calendars for the 3rd annual 17 Days of Kindness, beginning on April 11, and ending on April 27 with our annual President's Ball!
