Monocal at Wilfrid Laurier University hosts a number of contributors that span a variety of different interests. All contributors are united in the goal of providing high quality programming to students at the university. To become a contributing organization there must be an on-campus presence and programming geared towards the interests of the student body. Each contributing organization then uploads the details of their events to the Monocal site to inform students of their programming, allow for scheduling conflicts to be viewed between organizations, and give a general impression as to the type of programming and variety of events that characterize campus life. The following is a list of the contributing organizations that compose Monocal at Wilfrid Laurier University.
