Leading. Learning. The Lakeland Campaign.
Priorities 
At Lakeland College, our students lead today through student-managed enterprises, experiences and events.
Student-managed helps students step out of their comfort zone. Being in charge forces them to tackle new experiences. Student-managed is a way to make connections with community and industry. Responsibility transforms students into leaders.
That’s what makes a Lakeland education useful, unique and a great investment.
The need
Your gifts help Lakeland students fulfill their potential regardless of their circumstances.
With your support, students access the funding and support services they need, learn in modern facilities where hands-on learning opportunities are everywhere, and tackle research projects that matter.
You can lead the way by making a donation in support of these 3 areas.
Join us
Together, let’s ensure the problem solvers, innovators, leaders and hard workers at Lakeland continue to benefit from the highest quality education and leadership opportunities so they're prepared to go out into the world and make valuable contributions.Expand student success and student-managed initiatives
We know students come to Lakeland because they see it as a place of possibility.
Expand student success and student-managed initiatives
A place where they can explore their potential and grow their dreams. A place of innovation, inclusivity and collaboration.
Sustaining that environment takes investment. Some of that investment is in our buildings. Some of it is in various types of equipment and technology.
Another valuable investment is about opening doors for students to succeed at Lakeland and in life.
- With the impact of COVID-19, current and prospective students need additional financial support to make their goals a reality. Targeted scholarships and bursaries will help first generation, new immigrant, Indigenous, disabled and second career students prepare for their future.
- New or expanded support services such as wellness and job search.
- More job-ready programs such as mentorship and increased co-op work placements.

Empower the next leaders in agriculture
There are more than 500 agricultural sciences students currently studying at Lakeland. That’s an all-time high.
Empower the next leaders in agriculture
Your support will help us create the Ag Technology, home to the proposed bachelor degree program.
The Agricultural Technology Centre will feature:
- a technology hub with displays and analytical tools
- combined lab and classroom space
- a makerspace
- a centralized control centre for data collection.
In this space, students will stretch their minds as they learn how to evaluate and compare new and emerging technologies such as AI, robotics, bioinformatics, and genomic tools and apply them to current ag production and management systems.
Other priorities:
- Modernizing and expanding the Equine Centre, home to programming, clubs and community events and activities
- Renewal of our campus farm to enhance bio-security measures, modernize roads, and upgrade IT connectivity
An increased industry focus on technology means providing that equipment for our students.
And, we also need to expand our land base.
