Welcome to the Counsellor's Corner!
The Counsellor's Corner is a new page dedicated to you! As a high school guidance counsellor, students come to you to discuss plans for their post-secondary education. From program selection and university options to assisting with the application process, you are their information source.
Not only do students rely on your expertise but so do we. We rely on you to help us spread the word about the exceptional educational and lifestyle opportunities that exist at Lakehead University.
Lakehead University continues to grow and evolve. When students and parents visit you for guidance, we want to ensure you have all the latest information about updates, developments and opportunities happening at our two campuses.
