Laurentian Weekend 2024 had it all — action on the field and ice, a spotlight on student research, and plenty of St. Lawrence spirit to go around! From the first-ever football game under the lights to community and camaraderie in the RV Village, it was a weekend of unforgettable fun.
We wrapped it up with the Scarlet & Brown Dinner, where 2,000 Laurentians came together for great food, music, and memories. Until next year, Saints! ❤️🤎
