What is the MLSA?
The Manitoba Law Students Association (MLSA for short!) is made up of all students at Robson Hall. We are led by an Executive, elected Representatives, student Committees, non-voting Officers, and you! The MLSA fosters student leadership in academics, professional development, and more. The MLSA also encourages and provides numerous ways to get involved in the Robson community through volunteering, social events, and community outreach. The MLSA is dedicated to advocating for the interests of all students at Robson Hall.
We envision a Robson Hall that feels like home.
Our desire is for a community that feels welcoming, prioritizes student wellbeing, and encourages us to thrive together and support one another. Our ambition is an atmosphere that facilitates growth — one that forges new opportunities for students to gain experience, knowledge, and feel secure in their future.
Our Vision
Our Mission
At the MLSA, we strive to diversify our community and create opportunities for every student. This means fiercely advocating for student interests within academic and Faculty policies, expanding networking and articling opportunities, and fostering an approachable social environment for Robsonites. We also provide access to information that students need; through mental health resources, tailored survival guides, and much more. Our goal is to advocate, inform, and support.
Our Governance
The MLSA is officially governed by elected representatives. Elections are held in Spring for the following year. The MLSA is also made up of non-voting Officers and Committees who work in specialized areas, speak in meetings, and keep the MLSA running smoothly.
