The public and alumni are invited to an initial look at Wilfrid Laurier University’s newly renovated Milton Academic Centre.
An open house is happening next week and will provide Laurier alumni and members of the Milton community the opportunity to speak with staff about Laurier’s Milton campus experience and programs, connect with fellow alumni, meet the volunteer members of the Wilfrid Laurier University Alumni Association, and explore the Milton Academic Centre.
“We are looking forward to showcasing the Milton Academic Centre,” says vice-president of advancement and external relations, Jason Coolman, who will be in attendance. “Our Milton campus will give local and commuter students the chance to experience Laurier’s high-quality academic programs and student life close to home, while becoming part of Laurier’s unique multi-campus culture.”
Laurier will offer two of its most popular and established programs, Computer Science and Psychology, as inaugural Milton campus programs when the doors open this fall. Both undergraduate degree programs will be taught with an innovative, problem-based approach, and extensive hands-on learning opportunities.
“Laurier Milton’s programs are designed to provide students with a comprehensive education, whether they are learning about the biological and behavioural sciences or mastering computing languages and algorithms,” says Richelle Monaghan, vice dean of the Faculty of Science. “Our programs give students the quality education and career readiness they want and need.”
Beginning as an engaging education hub in the Laurier Milton Academic Centre, Laurier Milton will develop over the years into a robust, purpose-built campus in the Milton Education Village. Campus spaces will come to life over time, grounded by Indigenous principles of land stewardship and enriched by sustainable buildings.
The Laurier Milton Community’s Campus Preview takes place Tuesday, June 18th, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Laurier Milton Academic Centre, located at 555 Industrial Drive in Milton. Register for the event online.
