Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publications
Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publications (or WLUSP) is a volunteer-based organization that collects fees from undergraduate students and publishes various media. It became a non-profit corporation in 1970; until then, its functions had been fulfilled under the direction of the Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union. WLUSP is governed by an elected President and Board of Directors. Volunteers for management-level positions are all hired, but only a few positions, such as The Cord Editor in chief and the WLUSP President, are salaried.
The organization publishes The Cord, the university's newspaper. It also produces: Blueprint Magazine, Wilfrid Laurier's student arts magazine; Keystone, Wilfrid Laurier University's yearbook; The WLU'er, a student planner, The Sputnik, Laurier Brantford's official student newspaper, The Orbiter, Laurier Brantford's student planner and RadioLaurier.com Laurier's campus radio station.

Famous quotes containing the words university, student and/or publications:
“A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
