Hi future Golden Hawks! My name is Lydia Wang, and I am the Regional Manager on the International Recruitment & Partnerships team at Laurier.
With the first-hand experience of moving to Canada to study and work, I empathize and understand international students’ situations. I am looking forward to helping you develop your study plan and set you up for success for life in Canada.
Laurier is a friendly and welcoming community. Besides the excellent academic experience, many activities and engagements help you quickly adapt to and fully engage in the new environment and culture. You will be amazed by the daily progress you will have at Laurier!

Bisi
Hi! My name is Bisi, and it's a delight to be one of the International Recruiters at Laurier. I work with a community of like-minded and passionate folks committed to helping each other achieve success. I am inspired daily by the community of faculty and staff committed to supporting our students' success.
I am currently completing my Master's in Education at Laurier. As an international student who moved to Canada eight years ago to study at Lambton College, I feel a sense of gratitude for my decision to pursue my post-secondary education in Canada.
I look forward to connecting with you, sharing my personal experiences as an international student, and learning more about your goals and dreams.

Hello, fellow aspiring leaders! My name is Eva Raiyani. I am a recent Laurier graduate and an International Recruitment and Admissions Coordinator. I am so glad to have the opportunity to interact with enthusiastic prospective Golden Hawks like you, who want to receive the best possible education and are open to life-changing opportunities.
Coming to Laurier as an international student was a leap of faith for me. I was anxious about this decision, hoping for it to be the right one. Now that I look back, I think it is one of the best decisions I ever made for myself and my family. Laurier's warm and welcoming community assured me that I belong here. I felt supported and cared for throughout my journey as an undergraduate student. Laurier has truly been my home away from home.
As a Laurier graduate, I feel empowered to thrive, both in the present and the future. Laurier's strong sense of community continues to inspire me every day, and I cannot wait to welcome you here to join us in this life-changing journey of leadership and purpose.

Hello future Golden Hawks!
My name is Ian Camara. I am a recent Laurier graduate and an International Recruitment Coordinator. I am beyond thrilled to get to know and support you though one of the biggest decisions of your lives, to help you make the best choices for your education and to create life-changing memories.
I started my Laurier journey back in 2017 and studied Law and Society on our Brantford Campus. During my studies, I also added several minors to my degree.

Laurier’s sense of community has a huge impact on our international student population and I am honoured to be part of this community as both a graduate and a current staff member. Students feel supported and cared for though their university education and Laurier is absolutely inspiring the lives of all students: future, current, and past.
I cannot wait, and am so excited, to welcome you to Laurier so you are able to experience the best of all we have to offer.
