LOCUS Off-Campus Advisors

Off-campus advisors (OCAs) are upper year Laurier students on Laurier’s Brantford and Waterloo campuses here to support all incoming first-year undergraduate students living off-campus. OCAs host regular programming opportunities and are available to answer any questions you may have such as those related to:

  • the Laurier student experience
  • academics and campus resources
  • the city and broader community
  • other general inquiries or specific experiences

OCA’s can also help you navigate life at Laurier, find more opportunities for volunteering, leadership, and fun. There's also lots of programming for you to engage with – be sure to check out our schedule of upcoming events!

Connect with an OCA today on the Brantford team or Waterloo team today! Looking to get involved with LOCUS? We have a number of work and volunteer positions each year.
