From our Campus Ambassadors
In my roles as both the McMaster Campus Ambassador and the Chief Campus Ambassador, I have had the opportunity to meet new people from all across Canada and take part in panels with distinguished legal experts. As the Campus Ambassador for McMaster, I was able to get more involved with my school community and network with law clubs across campus. This not only proved to be a helpful networking opportunity but also provided me the flexibility to focus on my studies while also taking part in such an amazing initiative. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between undergraduate studies, law school, and beyond for Canadian students. We embrace diversity and welcome new perspectives.
Nancy Mancino, Chief Campus Ambassador
The Campus Ambassador Program has given me the opportunity to connect with students from across the country, organizing events with lots of different campuses and ambassadors and building a pre-law network and community, spanning from coast to coast. My experience as Chief Campus Ambassador has well prepared me in my role as Chief of Operations and has shaped the way I continue to work with Campus Ambassadors in my daily role.
