The Digital Media and Journalism panel will be at 6 pm on Tuesday. Join us for a look at first year and an opportunity to ask questions of our professors and students.

Whether you’re a transfer student, a mature student, or gearing up to finish high school, there’s something unique and inspiring for you in Brantford.

Congratulations to Dr. Darren Thomas on this historic appointment. Dr. Thomas is a familiar face to many DMJ students who have taken his Introduction to Indigenous Studies course.

Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

A new student lounge is in the works on Laurier's Brantford campus, located on the lower level of One Market.

“There was a need for social space for students to just hang out,” says Jess Calberry, manager of the Centre for Off-Campus Initiatives. “Not necessarily an academic space, but a space for student-focused connection.”

It is hoped the new space will be complete and ready for use when students return to in-person learning. Read more: http://bit.ly/oNemarket
