Student Affairs Strategic Action Plan 2024-2028
The Student Affairs Strategic Action Plan 2024-2028 responds purposefully to the university's mission focused on building a thriving community and preparing students for future readiness.
Search for academic programs, residence, tours and events and more.
The Student Affairs strategic vision, mission, values, and five strategic focus areas are intentionally aligned with the Laurier Strategic Action Plan and complementary to the Strategic Academic Plan, Strategic Plan for EDI, and Indigenous Strategic Plan.
Student Affairs departmental units cater to all current Laurier students – whether they are completing their undergraduate, graduate, or professional studies – and provide tailored support to enhance students’ daily lives. We take a holistic approach to student support, offering programs and services targeting: academic success, health and well-being, community-building, advisory and inclusion programs, athletics and recreation, experiential learning, career development, and much more.
We strive for an environment that fosters growth and resilience so that students can navigate their university career with confidence, while feeling a sense of belonging in both their academic and personal journey at Laurier. Ultimately, we are committed to developing exceptional citizens that aspire to leave their positive mark on the world.
