WILL is a student-run organization, operating under the Lazaridis Students’ Society at Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU). We aim to empower and support female students in their professional and personal development, particularly in leadership roles. Together, we have 7 years of combined experience in various roles on the WILL executive team.
