Connect with a Current Student
Lakehead International’s Peer Mentor program pairs up experienced Lakehead students with a small group of new international students to help them:
- Transition to university
- Adjust to the Lakehead University campus, the Thunder Bay or Orillia community, and Canadian culture
- Access and get to know on-campus or off-campus resources
The Peer Mentor program organizes activities for all participants. It is a great way to meet new students and explore your new home.
Campus-Wide Orientation
Lakehead University also has planned a great campus-wide orientation for all new students to attend. This is the perfect opportunity for international students to connect with their Canadian peers and the broader campus community. Please visit Lakehead's Orientation webpage for more information.
