I worry that without serious support and investment, the school I know won't be there when this pandemic is over and I can finally go back to Sudbury to visit. I worry my beloved professors won't be there either. #FundLU #HumansofLU @lufappul

It has been my dream since graduating to one day personally fund a scholarship that supports the EIC of @The_Lambda, because I know how important that work is. But the fact is, personal funds will not keep this school open and alive. Gov funds will. #FundLU #HumansofLU @lufappul

I formed relationships with profs that have far outlasted my time at @LaurentianU as an undergrad. We chat via email or Twitter DMs, we discuss literary theory, the media job landscape, and more frivolous things. These people shaped my future! #FundLU #HumansofLU @lufappul

Coming from Toronto, I chose to attend a small school in the North because I wanted a different education experience. I wanted profs to know me by name, I wanted to be in small classes where we could focus on the content that resonated with those in the room. #FundLU #HumansofLU
