Pieter Breijer, Manager of Liaison Services
Hello! My name is Pieter Breijer and I am the Manager of Liaison Services.
I began working with Laurentian University as a lifeguard, swimming instructor and U12 competitive swimming coach for the Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club at the Jeno Tihyani Olympic Gold Pool. I have had the good fortune to travel through all of Ontario - as well as a handful of countries - to work with students who are interested in pursuing their passions as a Voyageur. Now, in my role as a manager, I work with an exceptionally dedicated group of individuals who strive to be an integral part of your post-secondary journey.
If you find yourself on campus - as a potential applicant or someone helping someone else through the process - stop by my office and have a coffee with me. I’d love to hear about your journey, what you hope to achieve during your time at Laurentian, and how my team and I can help.
Degree: BA (Hons) Law & Justice
Diploma: Human Resources Management
