Wilfrid Laurier University has received a $1.25M gift from the Wilfrid Laurier University Students’ Union to mark the union’s 50-year anniversary. Of the gift, $250K will go towards the Students’ Union 50th Anniversary Volunteer Bursary Fund, and $250K will go to the Leanne Holland Brown Student Emergency Fund to support students facing financial emergencies. The Milton campus, Brantford campus, and Waterloo campus will each receive $250K to support their student experiences. “As one of our key partners in student experience and success, the Students’ Union continues to build, in a significant way, on our shared vision to inspire lives of leadership and purpose through holistic support and vibrant campuses,” said WLU President Deborah MacLatchy.
