Your connection to community, campus life and thriving outside the classroom.
At Laurier, we know your student experience goes far beyond our lecture halls. It’s about discovering who you are, making connections with fellow students, and building your sense of community – no matter where you are on your Laurier journey. That’s where we come in.
The Student Experience department is your entry point to all things student life – a central hub for events, programs, supports, and opportunities to help you make the most of your time as a Golden Hawk. We’re your starting point for building a university experience filled with purpose, friendships, and fun, so we hope you’ll stay connected.
Follow @studentlifeatlaurier on Instagram where we work closely with your peers to bring you the information you want and need to know, when you want and need to know it.
We’re here to help you thrive outside the classroom by:
We’re always listening and evolving to reflect what students actually want and need. When something’s missing, we help address the gaps and fill them with opportunities to connect, lead, grow, and just enjoy being a student!
From signature campus events to community-building socials, there's always something going on. Explore upcoming events and find the ones that spark your interest.
