About LTU

Here, we’re about “Theory and Practice” – taking abstract ideas into the real world to solve tomorrow’s problems. Our reputation comes as much from what we’re doing now as it does from our storied past.

Lawrence Technological University was born more than 85 years ago in the middle of an innovation explosion that would change the world. None other than Henry and Edsel Ford helped launch the revolutionary experiment that would become LTU, providing guidance and space in their sprawling former Model T assembly plant for the fledgling school.

Today, we’re still changing the world. Since those early beginnings students and alumni have gone on to design and engineer the tools, buildings, and products that helped define their generations. And tomorrow’s LTU students will do the same.

Contact will be made to the  missing   person ’s emergency contact, if contact information has been provided, within twenty-four (24) hours of the determination that the student is  missing  by the Dean of Students or designee. If the student is under the age of 18 and is not an emancipated individual, the Dean of Students will notify the student’s parent or guardian and any other designated  missing   person  contact  person  within 24 hours.

The Dean of Student’s Office and the Department of Campus Safety will have the primary initial investigative authority. For the purposes of this policy, upon report of a  missing  enrolled residential student, an initial investigation will be instituted and priority will be determined. There is no prescribed “waiting period” prior to consideration of a  missing   person ‘s investigation.
