The School of Business and Economics Students’ Society (SBESS) has organized an Orientation Day that is designed to provide information to you about what to expect on the first day of class and throughout the first year, familiarize you with the facilities and services availableat Laurier, as well as introduce you to make connections withmany of the school’s dynamic faculty members and corporate sponsors.

At the beginning of the day, there will be seven sessions held on campus led by upper year business and economics students.

The luncheon portion of the day will take place off campus at the elegant Waterloo Inn. We are greatly honoured to have Mr. Tim Penner, the President of Proctor & Gamble, as our guest speaker for this exciting event. Following the luncheon, and upon return to campus, there will be an opportunity to meet representatives from the large amount of business and economics clubs that are run on campus.
The ultimate aim of O-Day is to expose first year business and economics students to faculty, classrooms, fellow SBE students and the overall business/economics community of Wilfrid Laurier University.
