As we approach September, we are reminded of what the start of the academic year brings to Laurier: new adventures, new beginnings – and for WLUSA, this year includes the added excitement of our newly designed website, wlusa.ca.

The site was revamped specifically for the benefit of our Membership, from content to design, our Members were top of mind. The clean, professional, and streamlined design is complemented by improved navigation so you can find important information faster.

Explore the New Site

• Check out all the Employee Benefits that you get as a WLUSA Member and Laurier employee.
• Load up on some discounted offers through Member Perks.
• Interested in getting involved? We have many internal and joint committees that you may be interested in.
• Looking to upgrade your skills? Apply for the Professional Development Fund and receive financial aid to attend conferences and workshops.

What makes this endeavour even more special was the ability to have it done in-house. Paloma Forwell, a WLUSA Member, leveraged her experience as a web content specialist to breathe life into our old website. On top of her work duties, completing her MBA, and attempts to enjoy the summer sunshine, Paloma found the time to meet with members of the Executive to learn our vision and make it a reality. Many thanks to Paloma for her hard work, and most likely late nights, converting our vision into this masterpiece.

Cheers,
Keith Goulet
President, WLUSA/OSSTF
