Student Recruitment Program

Help Recruit the Next Generation of Thunderwolves

The Lakehead Alumni Student Recruitment (LASR) program is a brand new initiative designed to extend the reach of the Office of Admissions & Recruitment and strengthen connections between Alumni and Lakehead University through service back to the university. Whether you are an alumnus living in Canada or abroad, we'd like your help recruiting the brightest and best prospective students to Lakehead University.

As an Alumni Student Recruiter (ASR) you will help increase awareness of your alma mater by representing Lakehead at events, adopting a school in your area, or simply through casual conversation with friends and co-workers. Your personal experiences and enthusiasm for Lakehead will make an impact on prospective students and their families. Be a part of something exciting and meaningful - extend the Lakehead word into your community and see what happens.

To get started, simply let us know who you are and your interests.

Start here.
