The Masters of Human Rights Student Association is excited to announce that we will be holding an educational event for Autism Awareness Day. This event, titled “What your Autistic Students want you to Know about Autism” features a panel of current autistic students at U of M to educate professors, university staff and others about autistic student experiences and how to improve their practise on making it inclusive.

For MHR students, attending this will count as one of your mandatory workshops! For staff and faculty in or considering taking the EDIA micro-certificate, attending this event will count towards your mandatory on-campus EDIA events!

Date & time: April 2 from 12:00-1:30

Light refreshments provided!

MHRSA is holding a paint and plant event this Thursday! Come paint with us and receive a free succulent!

**Please note that while we welcome students from other programs, priority for the succulents will be given to MHR and LLM students**

What an incredible day yesterday was!

The Masters of Human Rights program held its annual Research Symposium. Second-year students from the thesis and practicum streams presented on their research, with amazing presentations on human rights education, Indigenous reconciliation, gaps between international law and domestic implementation, and human rights in the digital age. We were also honoured with our keynote speaker, the Honourable Roméo Dallaire, and guest speakers Métis Elder Norman Meade and journalist Bartley Kives.

We want to give a HUGE thank you to program director Mary Shariff for all of her incredible work on this day. Thank yous as well to the U of M staff for their behind-the-scenes work on food and sound, all our first-year volunteers, .nn for her incredible photography, our guest speakers, and of course, all the advisors and practicum sites for guiding us along this research journey.
