Lauren Wilcox University of Toronto, Engineering

Celebrate the legacy of the 2016 graduates by making a gift to the Class of 2016 Endowment

As Head Junior Don in her graduating year, Lauren and the Junior Don Boarding team planned many fun and engaging events for the Boarding community. She enjoyed her time living at Havergal because of the sense of community

she felt with her fellow Boarders, who became her family away from home. “What I learned during my time at Havergal is that the more you put into something, the more you get out of it,” says Lauren. She is currently studying Engineering at the University of Toronto, where she is interested in learning more about the environment and sustainability. She thanks her Grade 12 Physics teacher for fostering her passion for science and the environment.
