Laurentian University - Sudbury (Université Laurentienne), founded in 1960, is a mid-sized bilingual university in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. While LU's focus is primarily on undergraduate programming, the university also features Canada's newest medical school — opened in 2005, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, in consortium with Lakehead University. Laurentian University - Sudbury school of Graduate Studies offers a growing number of graduate-level degrees. Laurentian is the largest bilingual provider of distance education in Canada.
Laurentian University - Sudbury campus is located on the south side of Lake Ramsey, just south of Greater Sudbury's downtown core and near some of the city's wealthiest residential neighbourhoods. The city's Idylwylde golf course also borders on the university campus. Laurentian University - Sudbury has a federated school structure, similar to that of the University of Toronto. The school also has an unusual and sometimes controversial student government structure — there are actually two separate student unions (in addition to the part time and graduate student associations). Laurentian University - Sudbury Francophone Student's Association (AEF) is for francophones, while the Student's General Association (SGA) is for both anglophones and francophones. However, any student can affiliate with either union, regardless of language, and because the two unions do not offer identical student services, many students from one language group change their affiliation to the other student union depending on which services they want. Consequently, in practice the two student unions often compete with each other rather than serving distinct groups.
Laurentian University - Sudbury has strong ties with the mining industry, being one of the few schools in Canada offering mining engineering, and the only Canadian university located in a city where the major industry is mining. The Willett Green Miller Centre, a provincial building located on the site, is home to the Mining Innovation, Rehabilitation and Applied Research Corporation (MIRARCO), a not-for-profit applied research and technical service company formed through collaboration between Laurentian University - Sudbury and the private and public sectors. The Willett Green Miller Centre is also home to the Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC), a semi-autonomous research and teaching centre whose focus is field-based, collaborative research on mineral deposits and their environments. The mission of MERC is to conduct and promote cutting-edge, field-based, collaborative research on mineral deposits and their environments, and to educate and train highly qualified personnel for careers in the minerals industry, academia or government. The Laurentian University - Sudbury is also a key partner in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), the world's deepest underground laboratory that has been providing, since 1998, new clues on the composition of the sun and the origins of the universe.
In 2004, Laurentian University - Sudbury, along with Lakehead University, formed the Northern Ontario Medical School. The Laurentian University - Sudbury is a member of L'Association des universités de la francophonie canadienne, a network of academic institutions of the Canadian Francophonie. Upon the resignation of the last president, Dr. Judith Woodsworth, Dominic Giroux became the president of Laurentian University. Dr. Woodsworth had been president of Laurentian University - Sudbury since July 2002.
In April 2006, she had been reappointed by the Board of Governors for a second five-year term which commenced in July 2007. She left the university as the new President and Vice-Chancellor of Concordia University, Montreal. Under her leadership, Laurentian saw the opening of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in 2005, the creation of the Laurentian University - Sudbury first six PhD programs, tremendous growth in research capacity and numerous construction projects on campus. The Board of Governors heads the university with the president. Directly to the left and right of the president is the assistant to the president, and the Laurentian University senate.
The SGA is the largest student union at Laurentian University - Sudbury, with around 5100 students. It offers services in both English and French, although in recent years the English services have become predominant. The association is presided over by a board of directors consisting of representatives of each of the academic departments and residences, as well as commissioners representing groups within the school (francophone, aboriginal, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, international students, women, cultural affairs and special needs), three university senators and the executive. Under the by-laws the board only comes into existence on the first day of classes of the fall session and is dissolved at the end of the winter session, for the remainder of year the executive has the full powers of the board. The Laurentian University - Sudbury campus radio station, CKLU, broadcasts at FM 96.7 in both English and French. Its campus newspapers are Lambda in English and L'Orignal déchaîné ("The Unchained Moose") in French. Lambda is a member of Canadian University Press, and CKLU is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association.
Laurentian University - Sudbury varsity teams, known as the Voyageurs for the men's teams and the Lady Vees for the women's teams, compete in basketball, soccer, swimming, cross-country running, golf, curling, and Nordic skiing. There are also competitive club teams in lacrosse and rowing and a plethora of intramural sports programmes. The Lady Vees basketball team have been one of the most successful franchises in the history of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women's basketball championship, winning the title seven times. Notable alumnae of the basketball team include broadcaster Sylvia Sweeney. The current director of the athletic department is Peter Hellstrom. Laurentian University - Sudbury Great Hall is a multipurpose dining hall and auditorium that plays a prominent role in the life of the University. During special events, invited speakers and dignitaries may address the University population or general public from the Great Hall. Many conferences held in Sudbury may book the hall for lectures or presentations. Even bands touring Canadian campuses may schedule concerts at the Great Hall.
On a more routine basis, the Great Hall serves as the dining area of the Laurentian University - Sudbury cafeteria, and is a popular place for student, staff, and faculty alike to grab a snack at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. (The adjacent servery features a made-to-order sandwich bar, Pizza Pizza counter, stir-fry station, grill, and baked goods stand.) The hall's outdoor balcony has a view of the greens of the Idywylde Golf and Country Club. Laurentian University - Sudbury residences offers four unique residences under the supervision of the main campus and three located at the main campus under the supervision of the federated colleges.
Laurentian University - Sudbury Fraser Auditorium in the Fraser Building is another large-volume auditorium, though it is more formal than the Great Hall and is regularly used for the larger first-year classes. The Fraser Auditorium is also used for special events and conferences, but a student's most memorable visit will likely be for convocation ceremonies, held within the auditorium each spring. In addition the Fraser Auditorium at Laurentian University - Sudbury has hosted the Falconbridge Lecture Series hosting such guests as Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, and Senator Roméo Dallaire (March 2006). The Ben Avery is the sports building. There are a number for Varsity teams from the popular basketball teams to the soccer teams on the field. The Ben Avery is the focal point of the non-academic action. The Ben Avery also has a weight and cardiovascular room. An IAAF 8 lane 400m mondo track (2010) compliments the sport fields with seating for 5000.
