Canada, an organization
dedicated to inspiring young
people to become science and
technology leaders.
Ryerson University served
as host and gold sponsor of the
event. Students from Ryerson's
Faculty of Engineering
and Architectural Science
mentored three high-school
teams during the first circuit
of competitions, two of which
competed at the March event.
The Ryerson event also
included an appearance by
the Afghan Girls Robotics
Team (also known as the
Afghan Dreamers), who were
denied entrance to the United
States for a FIRST competition
last year, to international
uproar. -Will Sloan
ACADEMICS
Legal steps
Ryerson has taken another
big step towards launching
a law school.
In February, the Law Society
of Ontario-the provincial
regulator of lawyers and
paralegals-formally accepted
the recommendation of its
Professional Development and
Competence Committee that
Ryerson's proposed common
law degree program fulfills
the national requirement.
In 2017, the law school
proposal received approval
from the Ontario Universities
Council on Quality Assurance
(OUCQA) and the Federation
of Law Societies of Canada
(FLSC), which co-ordinates
the country's 14 provincial and
territorial law societies.
The approval process now
turns to Ryerson's internal
community. This spring, both
the Ryerson Senate and Board
of Governors will vote on
developing the law school
and a Faculty of Law. Subject
to that approval, Ryerson
will welcome its first class
of law students in 2020.
Ryerson law students will
receive a leading-edge, futurefocused education examining
contemporary issues such as
technology, equity, diversity
and inclusion, and access to
justice. Mandatory courses will
be taught in subjects ranging
from Indigenous law to
social innovation to business.
Students will also complete
professional placements.
