The institute received its charter in 1847 and is named for its founder, Methodist minister and philanthropist Amos Lawrence. There are over forty areas of study at the Lawrence, from Biomedical Ethics to Film Studies.
Opened in 1989 The Wriston Art Centre is a 33,000 square foot complex designed for both the viewing and creation of artistic projects. The building is bordered by a distinctive curled walling, and contains a climate controlled environment for the university’s extensive art collection.
The Conservatory offers majors in Performance, Music Education, Theory, and Composition. There are also no less than thirteen ensembles at Lawrence, open both to those taking Music as a major and aspiring performers taking other academic subjects. The three choirs at the conservatory are Concert, Cantala, and Viking Chorale, and a particularly innovative ensemble is the Improvisation Group combing various instrumental styles.
Some alumni of Lawrence are editor of The Moscow Times Lynn Berry, children’s author Bonnie Bryant, actor Jeffrey Jones, congressman Scott Klug, and Oscar winning documentarian Eric Simonson.
Known as the Vikings, there are a combined total of 22 men’s and women’s sports programmes at Lawrence, and teams compete at the NCAA Division III in university colours of navy and white. The sport of fencing is competed at varsity level in both men’s and women’s teams, one of only eleven universities in the division to offer this.
The city of Appleton itself can boast of an international airport, and cultural activities such as the Performing Arts Centre and a Fox Cities baseball stadium, which hosts the NCAA Division III College World Series.

Your personal sphere of influence The University of Vienna Research Platform ‘Trustworthy Science Communication’ announces a PhD position at the Department of Communication. Members of the research platform will conduct science communication research with a specific focus on the question of trust in science. This research will be interdisciplinary, and led by researchers in Communication Science, Computer Science, Psychology, and Science and Technology Studies. Together, we will examine public trust in science through cutting-edge research on science communication. Our research will be built on the understanding that public trust in science is complex, shaped by perceptions of trustworthiness, communication practices, and shifting social and political contexts. Trust cannot be assumed or manufactured; it must be earned through consistent integrity, transparency, and responsiveness. Because political developments, media narratives, and societal change continually challenge the relationship between science and the public, trust must be actively maintained. Addressing this challenge requires an interdisciplinary approach, as trust in science is conceptualized differently across fields. By integrating these perspectives, this platform aims to advance research on the foundations and practice of trustworthy science communication. Applicants should be able to demonstrate interest in or experience with public science communication, the capacity to carry out interdisciplinary research, and the research skills necessary to complete a PhD.
