Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Criminology and minor in Philosophy

Highlight / Takeaway from Time at Laurier

Hi, I'm Troy! I've been in care since I was 12 years old. I graduated from Laurier in 2019, with an Honours Bachelor of Arts majoring in Criminology and a Philosophy minor. I currently work as a dispatcher for the Canadian Armed Forces Military Police. I love my job and the people I work with. I enjoyed a lot of things at Laurier, and the major lesson I learned was how to put myself out there, growing my confidence and leadership skills.

Advice for Youth in Care Considering Laurier

If I had a piece of advice for incoming students, it would be to get involved! Find something you can volunteer for, a group to join, start your own! Look for ways to make Laurier a place like home, not just a school, and it'll make everything easier. Best of luck!
