Week 0

Week Zero is a 11 day jam-packed week filled with fun and interactive activities to help transition incoming students into a new chapter of their lives. It is also our way to welcome students to our vibrant Lassonde Community and their home for the next 4 (or more) years.

This week provides students the opportunity to get to know their campus, their peers and prepare for their first year at University. It is a wonderful experience for all new students to share, where they make friends, bonds, connections and memories they'll cherish for the rest of their lives.

Peer Helpers also host a variety of events and workshops directed toward personal and professional development, as well as student engagement.

Lassonde Undergraduate Research

The Lassonde Undergraduate Research Awards – also known as LURA – is a unique undergraduate program that grants students the opportunity to work under a professor on a specific research project.

This is an excellent way for undergraduate students to explore research of interest, build strong relationships with faculty and develop a sense of the exciting, exploratory nature of graduate school.

“I believe that with a more proactive approach to learning, anyone can be an engineer. Engineering is problem-solving and we, as humans, are natural problem-solvers. Engineering can make a bigger impact by addressing needs through the lens of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity. Our learning as future engineers starts as early as kindergarten and if we reinforce these traits through early education, we could open the possibility of engineering to those who may not have been able to see themselves in this field in the past.”
