Laurentian University has launched a new chapter with its strategic plan for 2024-2029. This ambitious document, announced in the spring, marks the start of an era of renewal for the institution.  To university President Lynn Wells, the plan embodies a sustainable growth vision. Ms. Wells has been in office since May 1.

Natalie Poulin-Lehoux, who was appointed associate vice-president, francophone affairs in October 2023, also sees the plan as an opportunity for reconstruction.
