Founded in 1927, the WLU Alumni Association has over 40,000 members worldwide. The mission statement of the association reads: "The WLU Alumni Association seeks to foster alumni interaction with the students, the University, and the community, to promote active alumni participation in the affairs of the University; to assist in securing the University as an independent institution; and to enhance the University's profile as a small institution committed to academic excellence."

A 26-member, elected Board of Directors governs the association, and alumni representatives also sit on the University Senate and Board of Governors. In order to fulfil its mission, the association manages several affinity programs benefiting alumni and the University alike. Revenue from life, home and auto insurance, an affinity credit card, long distance and Internet access programs are used to fund scholarships for Laurier students, alumni and student events, Homecoming, as well as alumni chapter programs.

The Student Alumni Association is a vibrant group of students who participate and plan an annual Parents' Day; a Student Exam Survival Kit; Homecoming; new student Alumni Send-Offs in various communities; and degree framing for graduands.
