About
Emily received a Bachelor of Arts degree (2019) from the University of Manitoba, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Women and Gender Studies. She went on to complete her Master of Journalism degree at the University of British Columbia (2022). During her time at UBC, she would often hear stories involving injustice in communities, and decided law school would allow her to go beyond writing stories and instead focus on advocacy work. Emily will be articling at Thompson Dorfman Sweatman in Winnipeg. UM Bisons are at the centre of it all, making a difference here in Manitoba and around the world. 3058 degrees are being awarded at Spring Convocation 2025, bringing the total number of UM graduates to 4200 so far this year. Many of these new alumni will stay in Manitoba, supplying high-demand skills to the labour market and contributing to UM’s $7.3 billion economic impact on our community.public_profile__posts1136 CommentsCopyLinkedInFacebookXEmily Palmerreposted thisReport this postEmily Palmer reposted thisL.
