Mary Robinson with University of Alberta students, originally uploaded by TheElders.
The U of A often brings national and international speakers onto campus to talk about a wide variety of topics. This year, for the tenth annual University of Alberta Visiting Lectureship in Human Rights, Mary Robinson spoke to the "Every Human Has Rights" campaign on April 2. The Visiting Lectureship in Human Rights was inaugurated in 1998 by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to provide a means to further learn about and discuss human rights issues.
If you would like to get involved with human rights advocacy on campus, there are a number of student groups you may be interested in, such as Amnesty International, UNICEF, Make Poverty History, Organisation for Peace and Security Studies, Stand for Darfur, Students Against Global Apathy, and World University Service of Canada (WUSC).
