Thank you for your service, Veterans.

We honor all of our Laurentian veterans, and thank you for your service to our country.

We’d like to highlight a new collection featured in ODY Library containing photographs, letters, and other objects gathered by former university registrar and World War II Communications Officer Helen “Tommie” Whalen. In this role, Tommie corresponded on behalf of the University with Laurentians serving in the war, and later compiled a scrapbook. She also published “Tommie’s Newsletter” to share the location, status, and general news of those serving abroad – a sort of “Class Notes” for our military Laurentians.

Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Service

Dr. Shaun Whitehead. Together, we honored and celebrated Dr. King’s legacy with performances by the St. Lawrence Choral Society, Community Gospel Choir & Gospel Band, Laurentian Singers, Singing Saints, Singing Sinners, and The Upbeats.
