Attention Alumni! Homecoming Weekend Events


 

Introducing our newest Homecoming Weekend experience: A Graduate's Nightmare Escape Room. Search for clues, solve puzzles and work together to solve the degree dilemma! 

The plot: Lakehead University has hired Dr. Joseph Noseworthy (who failed to mention a stint at a certain school of magic) as its newest chemistry professor. When the University Senate fails to approve a new Defence Against the Dark Arts course he has proposed, Noseworthy uses wizardry to tear up every Lakehead degree parchment issued since 1965. The pieces of parchment are now locked in a series of vaults.
 
Do you have what it takes to defeat Dr. Noseworthy and rebuild your degree?
