There's No Place Like Home — Bequest

To me, Lawrence University has always felt like home. I felt it the first time I spent the night there as a prospective student, and I still feel it now when I visit. I meant to put an estate plan together long before now, and from the beginning, I knew that Lawrence would be included as a beneficiary. Lawrence introduced me to four of my best friends, allowed me to indulge my love of history with professors who loved it just as much as I did, and gave me the opportunity to travel the world when I was nothing but a small town, Midwestern girl who had never been anywhere. Most importantly, it prepared me to not only attend law school, but to succeed as an attorney, using the same skills I first developed through my liberal arts education.

I owe so much of what I have been able to achieve to the foundation I built at Lawrence, and that would not have been possible without the scholarship help I received from Lawrence. I consider it both my duty and honor to do what I can to help future generations of Lawrentians reach for their dreams, just as others did for me. I'm proud to be able to include Lawrence University in my estate plan.
