Ambassadors
Ask an Ambassador!
Each year the Admissions and Recruitment Office selects students to serve as Western Law ambassadors. Ambassadors assist with events such as Orientation, our annual Welcome Day, recruiting receptions, and the phone campaign. They also give tours of the Faculty of Law and provide general information about their student experience. Below we feature some of our current ambassadors. They would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about Western Law. Feel free to email them directly at the email addresses provided.
Charron Charles, Class of 2026
"I chose Western Law for the collegial aspect that the school has to offer, and the amazing corporate law focus that is available to students. As a JD/MBA I am fortunate enough to meet amazing individuals from both Western Law and the Ivey MBA. Everyone at the school is very helpful, especially the upper year students in helping first-year students get situated in their new journey. The Small Group program allows students to form a close-knit group of their peers for any questions, advice needed, or simply just to hang out." Send an email.
Marin Papulkas, Class of 2027
“Choosing Western Law felt like a natural fit for me as a Western alum. But what stands out is how quickly you feel part of a community where everyone is genuinely invested in each other’s success. You realize that building meaningful connections with your peers and professors is just as important as mastering the material. Succeeding as a law student means prioritizing your mental health, and Western Law excels at that. Taking on purposeful leadership roles in extracurriculars, like the Western Women in Law Club and the Diversity Committee, as well as participating in weekly student events and outings, allows me to stay grounded and enjoy the journey while pursuing a challenging degree!” Send an email.
Daivik Shelat, Class of 2026
"I would offer two pieces of advice for aspiring law students. First, select an undergraduate program you are genuinely passionate about and can excel in because, unlike some other second-entry professional programs, law schools typically do not require specific degrees or courses. Explore diverse electives during undergrad. A music elective I took remains one of my favorite undergraduate courses. Second, begin networking and fostering relationships within the profession early on. Connect with law students and practising lawyers to learn more about law school and the legal profession to determine if the legal profession is right for you. Law students and lawyers are always willing to speak with aspiring law students." Send an email.
Mackenzie LeClaire, Class of 2026
"I chose to attend Western Law because feeling a sense of belonging is important to me. I remember coming to Western’s Fall Open House as a prospective law student and I immediately felt at home. The law building is quiet and full of comfortable places to study. The faculty and upper-year students truly go the extra mile to support first-year students. Western Law provides a very social environment and there are dozens of associations and clubs to join. I’m involved in the Family Law Students Association and Western Women in Law. The Small Group program has also allowed me to form meaningful connections, making the transition to law school so much smoother." Send an email.
Liv Hart, Class of 2026
“One of the things I love most about Western Law is its commitment to creating a supportive, collegial environment that students and faculty embrace. When attending the spring open house, it was clear to me Western Law was truly a community. During my time at Western Law, I’ve gained confidence in my academics through the encouragement and support of professors, developed lasting relationships in my Small Group and met multiple upper-year and alumni mentors through extracurricular activities. The environment at Western Law has allowed me to grow both academically and personally for which I am immensely grateful.” Send an email.
Natalie Emidio, Class of 2026
"I was initially drawn to Western Law because of its commitment to providing students with a premier legal education as well as its tight-knit, social culture. I was a commuter during undergrad so having a supportive environment and the opportunity to make close friends was important to me. When I joined Western Law, I knew that I made the right decision. I made lifelong friends in my first-year Small Group, and I worked as a caseworker for the Western Business Law Clinic. These experiences made my first year at Western Law one I will always cherish."
