Riley Macnab

President

As SLS President, my role is to advocate for student needs to the Dean’s Office, manage student body matters, and ensure everyone at Western Law feels engaged, supported, and represented. While there is plenty of behind-the-scenes paperwork, my absolute favourite part of the job is collaborating with students to bring their ideas to life and getting to know our incredible community.

Outside of the SLS office, I am a trained classical and jazz musician, an avid Star Wars fan, and a massive sports enthusiast. I am incredibly excited for the 2026/2027 school year, and I can’t wait to meet you all and chat in Chambers!

Outside of school, I’m usually playing sports, watching a good thriller movie, or keeping up with the Arizona Cardinals… optimistic in August, pessimistic by October. I’m looking forward to another great year at Western Law, and I’m always happy to help if you have any tech-related questions or issues!
