Young Alumni Campaign

Did you know that 80% of Laurier students are involved in various extracurricular activities? That's more than double the national average! As you can probably attest to, those experiences outside of the classroom really helped to shape who you are today. As less than 10% of Laurier alumni give back to support the university, financially we're hoping our young alumni will show their Laurier pride by giving back.

You are challenged to gather together your classmates in a competition between graduating classes of the last 10 years - and show your Laurier spirit by giving back to Laurier.

Generations of Laurier alumni have been giving back to continue to enhance the Laurier experience for thousands of students. It's your turn to give what you can to help this next generation of Laurier students afford the same opportunities that you were given.

Every little bit counts. We are stronger together.
