“Visitors can expect to participate in fascinating presentations and academic lectures demonstrating what their first year could look like at Laurentian. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in a personalized campus tour,” said Events and Communications Coordinator, Office of Domestic Recruitment, Danielle Yasko-Pellerin. Stops along the way will include learning spaces and lecture halls, labs to libraries, residences to food services, and everything in between.

Those interested in star gazing and the many teachings associated with the night sky can attend demonstrations in the Doran Planetarium, a 10-meter wide dome that projects a simulation of the sky ablaze with the twinkling of hundreds of bright stars. 

A student services and faculty fair will ensure that no question is left unanswered about Laurentian’s many services and programs.
