Class of 2009

Special Edition


Welcome to the Family!

Who We Are

The Laurentian University Alumni Association is the large family which includes all graduates of Laurentian. By graduating, you automatically become a member of the Laurentian University Alumni Association (or LUAA), and join the alumni family which now includes over 40,000 members worldwide.

To help you stay connected, we have created a series of Alumni Chapters across the map.  Chapters are groupings of Laurentian graduates, and our current chapters include: Ottawa, Sudbury, SPAD, Timmins, Toronto and Vancouver, with a new chapter that was launched in Beijing, China in October 2008.

The Alumni Relations office is housed on campus, and the friendly members of our staff are always ready to help or to answer any questions you may have.  We invite you to stop by and visit if you are on campus, we are located at A-121 in the "Bowling Alley".

What We Do

The LUAA offers you many ways to stay involved with Laurentian, such as chapter events, class reunions and alumni discounts, just to name a few.  We keep you informed on what's going on through publications such as the Alumni Magazine and our monthly E-Newsletter.

You can browse upcoming events for alumni across Canada and the world by visiting the Events section of our website at www.lualumni.laurentian.ca.

Benefits for you

Our many benefits include, home and auto insurance, MasterCard credit card, dental & health and life & disability insurance and more!  Our newest program with Futura Rewards allows you to use your alumni card (which is included in the grad pack sent after convocation) to earn cash rewards.

All the benefits we offer are listed in the Benefits section of our website at www.lualumni.laurentian.ca.

 

We also offer an online database, the Alumni@Laurentian online community, that can help you find classmates with whom you have lost touch and makes it easy for you to update your information with us. Share with us your e-mail address, because your Laurentian e-mail will only be available for a limited time. Remember, we cannot communicate any of these great benefits to you if we don't know where you are!  Sign up before Friday July 31, 2009 and your name will automatically be entered in a draw to win an iPod!


So you've graduated... Now what?
Here are a few tips that may help you prepare for the world outside the walls of LU.

What Happens to my Student Loans After Graduation?
You've graduated university and you're ready for the next stage of your life. You're also perhaps at the next stage of your student loan - the repayment stage. For support on paying back your student loans, visit the CanLearn website.

Are you covered?
Did you know that after you graduate, your health and dental coverage under your parent’s insurance plan may terminate? Even though our provincial health care system is one of the world’s finest, prescription drugs, dental care, eye exams and many other health care costs aren’t covered.  But with the right insurance coverage, you can rest assured that these expenses won’t catch you unprepared.  With the Laurentian Alumni Health and Dental Plan, you can select the coverage that suits your specific needs, with premiums that are among the most affordable in Canada.  To find out more, call 1-800-387-0649.

We hope to see you in 2010 for LU's 50th anniversary!
You may just have left campus, and may even be coming back to complete further studies, but don't let this stop you from joining us in 2010 to celebrate Laurentian's 50th anniversary! You can learn of the activities and events that will be taking place throughout the year at www.celebrate50.laurentian.ca.
