Passport to discovery earns iPad prize for prospective student

Laura Salinas-CrosbyLearning about opportunities for undergraduate research earned an iPad for one visitor to the UWindsor’s March 4 open house.

Laura Salinas-Crosby (pictured at right) drove from Holland Landing, Ontario, to tour the campus. She filled a special passport with stamps documenting her visit to the Discovery Hub, which highlighted many pathways to research open to undergraduate students.

“The undergraduate research in chemistry and biochemistry really made a strong impression on me,” she said. “It really interested me as I would like to go into research myself. My career goal is to become a neuropsychologist in the future.”

The Discovery Hub enjoyed significant foot traffic this March, says organizer Simon du Toit. Salinas-Crosby’s entry was drawn from more than 60 completed passports.
