Join us at this year’s Lakehead University Alumni Association Annual General Meeting! It’s a chance to come together as part of the Lakehead family, reflect on the highlights of the past year, and look ahead to the exciting things to come in 2025/2026.

This year, we’re especially thrilled to welcome Bob McDonald as our guest speaker. You may know him as the award-winning radio and TV personality behind Quirks & Quarks, or as the author who brings science to life in ways that are fun and accessible. Bob was also recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Lakehead University, making this conversation even more special for our alumni community.

Whether you’ve attended our AGM before or it’s your first time, this is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with Lakehead, hear meaningful updates, and be inspired by Bob’s unique perspective.

The It’s Your Move Crew is bringing back our summer-long challenge to log 100 hours of physical activity—but this year, we’re celebrating Lakehead’s 60th anniversary! Along the way, you’ll hit special milestones inspired by Lakehead’s history—stay tuned for more details!

Once you sign up, you’ll get a link to our Strava Group, where we’ll provide weekly updates, encouragement, and resources to help you hit your goals. Plus, you’ll be able to connect with and cheer on your fellow Thunderwolves!

This challenge is open to current students, incoming students, staff, faculty, and alumni from either campus.

  • Students who reach milestones will receive Student Health and Wellness and Campus Rec swag! 

  • The first employee on each campus to hit 100 hours will receive a prize from HR! 

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

✅ Sign up before June 1 and join the It’s Your Move Strava Group
✅ Log your activities into Strava—either manually or by syncing your fitness tracker/smartwatch
✅ We’ll track your progress and celebrate your Lakehead-inspired milestones
✅ Get moving and celebrate Lakehead’s 60th!
