View is now offered in a new online format

A cool new VIEW

VIEW, the University of Windsor alumni magazine, has launched a dynamic new website.

“This new website gives us an attractive platform to tell even more stories about the great things happening at the university,” says editor Jennifer Ammoscato, of Public Affairs and Communications. “The site will have more profiles, more feature stories and more ways to connect our alumni with their alma mater.”

The website went live in early May with new stories to be published on an ongoing basis. A fall and spring print edition will still be produced. “The website will include that content but so much more,” explains Ammoscato.

For example, in this online edition, profiles include Hakeem Subair, BComm '16, who hopes to train one million teachers to give children in poor countries greater access to a quality education, and fourth-year student Jonathan Nari, who found his career inspiration while being fitted for new braces.

And readers will find out about the joys (and challenges!) of going on exchange. For example, what did UWindsor student (now proud grad) Lauren Oakley do when she arrived at Heathrow Airport to start the second leg of her trip to Sweden...only to learn she wouldn't have enough time to make her flight to Sweden?

Ammoscato encourages the UWindsor campus community to send along story ideas regarding interesting alumni, faculty, staff and students. “Online, we’re not limited by the number of pages we print. Let us know about the people and initiatives you think might make a good article or profile.”
