Currently I am a senior with a double major in environmental science and political science and a minor in biology. I have ambitions towards law school and I would like to ...
- 1566: Henry Ford

Were he alive today to see ... we have achieved, Laurier would be more than gratified and point with pride to a dizzying array of accomplishments. In the last century we not only distinguished ourselves in two world wars but also 'invented' peace keeping. We continue to help out in trouble spots around the world, in numbers hugely disproportionate to our tiny population. We also export our expertise in telecommunications, software development, mining, forestry, engineering, medicine and numerous other areas to nations around the ...
