This Fall, Thrive will be taking place October 25-29. The goal for Thrive is to help our Laurier community reflect, reset, and reconnect after such a challenging year apart. We aim to provide all students with opportunities to reflect on what we have learned, reset our mindset and routines, and get excited to reconnect with our campus community in a safe way. We are looking forward to hosting a mix of in-person and remote opportunities to connect with each other and learn more about what it means to Thrive at Laurier.
