In honour of Homecoming weekend, we at Blueprint Magazine and WLUSP would once again like to post our Grad Project video to honour the 2019-2020 graduating class. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, these amazing grads missed out on having an in-person ceremony. However, we would like to remind you all that your hard work, dedication, struggles, and accomplishments will never go unnoticed. You will always be Golden Hawks through and through, and we admire you for all the success that you have achieved during your years at Laurier and for all that you will achieve in the coming years. The best for the greatest is yet to come.
