Education

Our education is a powerful tool and it has the potential to unlock meaningful opportunities. However, Law School can be overwhelming and stressful for more reasons than simply ‘not knowing exam techniques’. Our team is passionate about confronting the hidden issues and the universal concerns around the ‘one size fits all’ model of University education. We hope to increase the dialogue surrounding mental health and personal wellbeing and the implications it has for empowering learning. We hope to encourage curiosity and improve the worldly understanding of students through greater diversity in education talks. We hope to provide different mediums for students to creatively express ideas. Ultimately, our vision for the upcoming year is to bring the attention back on the student body and address both our academic and non-academic needs as each student deserves a meaningful and well-rounded university experience.
