Nicole Canzoneri didn’t enrol in Windsor Law just to become a lawyer.

“I am in law school to develop the tools to make the social change I always dreamed of,” she says.

This summer, the student in Windsor Law's Master of Social Work/ Juris Doctor (MSW/JD) program put that ambition into practice through a fellowship with the human rights organization Amnesty International.
