The Lawrence University Environmental Organization is introducing a sustainable menstruation project in collaboration with the Student Alliance Against Sexual Harassment and Assault (SAASHA), the Lawrence University Disability Working Group (LUDWiG), the Diversity and Intercultural Center (D&IC) and the Lawrence Food Pantry.
According to junior Lauren Kelly, the president of the LU Environmental Organization, SAASHA will be educating students on period poverty and how to use these products.

Exceptions will be allowed for religious and medical reasons, but otherwise, all NU students will have to receive either the one-shot or two-shot dosage of any vaccine approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration or by the World Health Organization.
In a website posting to the university community, Provost Kathleen Hagerty and two other NU administrators say “requiring students to be vaccinated will best support the health of our community and position us for in-person classroom and co-curricular activities for the Fall Term.”
