SOME NOTES ON THE SCHEDULE

LOCUS students can participate in person or virtually. There will be an on-campus Icebreaker for each Locus Community to guide you on campus if you wish to participate in person. LOCUS students that wish to participate in person must come to one of the follow registration periods:

- September 6th, 9 am - 3 pm,  Research & Academic Centre Courtyard
- September 7th - 10th, 9 am - 4 pm, U-Desk

Once you receive your bracelet at registration, you are able to attend any in-person event you like.

In Person Golden Hawks: don’t worry about memorizing this schedule or the locations. Your Icebreakers will be there to guide you throughout the week.

Virtual Golden Hawks: You can follow along with this schedule and attend the various virtual programming we have available. You will also have virtual Icebreakers who will be there to guide you throughout the week.

You are welcome to attend as much or as little as you see fit. With that being said though, we do strongly recommend you attend as much as possible as the events will give you the best opportunity to meet others, connect with campus and learn what it means to be a Laurier Golden Hawk!
