The Warrior Academic Leadership Community (WALC) is a group of incredible athletes who are taking their athletics and academics to the next level. WALC brings student athletes from many sports together to live and learn in an environment that supports their academic and extracurricular activities.
We provide leadership development
WALC students are not just athletes - they are leaders. The Peer Leaders provide opportunities for student-athletes to build and practice valuable leadership skills. These skills help athletes both on and off the court, rink, or field, and will become part of an arsenal that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
We give back to the community
As student leaders WALC members are expected to give back to the community and encourage others to maximize their own potential. WALC members often fill important roles on student governments and councils, implement their own training and development sessions within the community, or participate in service learning opportunities such as Operation Christmas Child, Think Pink Campaign, and Relay for Life.
We are Warriors
The Warrior spirit is strong at Renison. Beyond the scope of WALC, Renison students regularly attend varsity games and cheer on our teams. We proudly display our own colours beside the black and gold of the University of Waterloo.
