Law students passing under the name sign above the door of Robson Hall’s largest classroom, may not be aware of the weight and impact it bears on the advocacy training they receive within its walls. The Moot Courtroom was named in honour of Harry Walsh, O.C., LL.D., Q.C. (1913 – 2011), one of Canada’s greatest and most respected advocates who graduated from the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Law in 1937.
Rachel Wheatley, who holds a BComm and MBA from the Asper School of Business, has served as CEO of Special Olympics Manitoba for over two years. Her leadership journey began with a desire to make an impact, a drive that inspired both her volunteerism and her pursuit of a business degree.
