Parents and Families

As students decide which university to attend, prepare for this next step in their education and adjust to university life, parents and supporters can also expect to discover new ways to support them.

At Laurier, we believe an engaged and supportive network is vital to student well-being and success. Your encouragement and advice play an integral role in your loved one’s university experience.

From your student’s first campus visit to convocation day, these resources are here to help you stay informed and connected.

“From my first interaction with Laurier, there was a sense of community. There was so much high energy interacting with students and faculty alike and I felt welcomed and seen. Fast forward to now, it is exhilarating to be able to give that same feeling to future students as an Ambassador.”

Nicole Brown, fourth-year student and Laurier Ambassador

Laurier Parents Campaign

As most postsecondary students and their families know, the financial investment of attending university is often more than the just cost of tuition.

Donations from the Laurier Parents Campaign enrich the Laurier experience for not only your special student but also students across campus, both now and in the future. The Laurier Parents Campaign funds impactful projects that would not be possible without your support and truly makes a difference in the lives of students, especially those in need of assistance.

We thank you for your generosity and support!
