Classes, studying, activities, athletics as well as healthy self-care habits keep our students busy, active and well. While totally immersed in the present moment of the Laurier experience, our students are also considering their futures. After all, it’s the reason they are here: to prepare themselves to succeed and make a difference in their lives and careers. And they truly need your support to do it.
I hope you will enjoy our 2024 Donor Impact Report, where we share stories in which students thrive because of donor generosity.
Sincerely,
Deborah MacLatchy
