Join the Laurier 101 team this July for a Campus Experience Day! This half-day event is designed to give you a feel for life at Laurier before starting classes in September. You’ll hear from current students, explore campus on a guided tour, and learn more about how to find your community on campus – even if putting yourself out there feels a little nerve-wracking.
You belong here, and we can’t wait to show you around!
