Our MissionProviding a High-Quality Education – Bequest

Renée J. Johnson ’90
No wonder I needed bifocals in my forties! The Apple computer labs in the Mudd were the envy of many of my friends visiting from other schools and made writing papers so much easier.
This is just one of many memories that prompted me to join the Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle. I want to be sure that Lawrence will always be able to invest in cutting-edge technologies. Having been a student and a faculty member at both Research 1 institutions and selective liberal arts colleges, I know first-hand just how unusual and precious the high-quality education Lawrence provides is. And, as a student that relied on scholarships to fund my education, I want to be sure that a Lawrence education is available to any who desires it.
I hope you will join me in making Lawrence a part of your estate plan.
Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle
