International Student Leaders
Our International Student Leaders (ISLs) are upper-year students who can give you a student's perspective an insight into life at Laurier. Every summer, the ISLs connect with incoming international students to:
- Welcome you to Laurier.
- Answer your questions.
- Provide you with more information about being a Golden Hawk.
Throughout the school year, ISLs plan events, host student gatherings and help engage you with all that Laurier has to offer.
ISLs are a great resource if you have questions about the student experience or if you are looking for ways to get involved on campus.
Meet this year's Undergraduate and Graduate ISLs.
