What is the Student Ambassador Program?

This program connects admitted and prospective candidates with current law students. Ambassadors are uniquely placed to tell applicants about the advantages of studying law at McGill. In fact, many of our current ambassadors were themselves welcomed to the McGill Law community through this program. Student Ambassadors are also invited to attend alumni events and to participate in Homecoming or other semi-formal or formal functions.
