It is with deep sorrow that Wilfrid Laurier University mourns the sudden passing of a student enrolled at Laurier’s Waterloo campus.

Support has been provided to the student's roommates and the Dean of Students will be connecting with the student’s family. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, the university is not releasing the name of the student at this time. Flags have been lowered to half-mast across the university in recognition of this loss.

Losing a student has a significant impact on the entire Laurier community. Support is being coordinated for students and others directly impacted by this death. Additional assistance can be accessed from the following resources:
