About Us

WLU Student Publications is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit media group based out of Wilfrid Laurier University. The Laurier student body makes up our membership and pays fees levied through the university, which go towards running our publications, websites and online radio station.

WLUSP’s media organizations include: The Cord, Laurier’s official, student-run newspaper; Radio Laurier, a campus and community radio station; Blueprint Magazine, a quarterly literary arts magazine; The Community Edition, Waterloo Region’s monthly, community-focused newspaper; The Sputnik, Laurier Brantford’s official newspaper; Keystone and The Carnegie, Laurier Waterloo and Brantford’s official yearbooks; and Laurier Student Poll, a market research group.
