Throughout his university career, Yanick stood out for his leadership, involvement and dedication as an ambassador for the promotion of equal access to legal education, higher education and employment for people from the LGBTQ+ community or with disabilities.

Today, he continues to promote inclusion and respect for diversity through various personal and professional initiatives.
