Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Wilfrid Laurier University encourages and protects freedom of expression, academic freedom and intellectually challenging discussions that include critical analysis and diversity of thought. At the same time, we reject and do not support discourse that involves hate, intolerance and intimidation.
