In response to the globalization of economies and cultures, the
need for systematic support of international efforts at WLU was
recognized in a study prepared by the AdHoc International
Education Strategy Committee. Established in March 1994, Laurier
International will encourage, promote and recognize international
activity through the development of policies and guidelines for
exchange agreements, international visitors and students, and
international project work. The office also develops and supports
events, information systems and publications to foster
international awareness on campus and the concurrent awareness
building of WLU's international activities and capabilities both
on campus and off.
Wilfrid Laurier University currently has exchange
agreements with universities in Austria, France, Germany,
Ireland, and Spain. Some of these agreements are limited to
specific faculties. Exchange agreements are being discussed with
Chile, Ghana, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
