Incoming students get a leg-up at Head Start

The Head Start orientation program, run by the Student Success Centre, is opening the University’s doors to incoming students and their parents beginning May 21.

Families who are new to UWindsor can attend information sessions designed to address areas of concern during the transition to university. Faculty, staff and current UWindsor students will be on hand for academic advising, presentations on residence and food services, campus tours and more.

“Head Start orientation program is a wonderful opportunity for students and their guests to become oriented to the campus,” says organizer Christina Alcena, Transition Services Intern, Student Development & Support.

Attendees may enter a draw to win a $500 prize during each day of Head Start—a total of $3,000 in giveaways. Drawings will be held at 1:30 p.m. each day at the CAW Student Centre information desk and winners must be present to claim their prize.

May 21, 22 or 25 are designated for students in Human Kinetics and Arts and Social Sciences. Students in Business, Engineering, Nursing, Science and inter-faculty programs can attend May 28, 29 or June 1.
