Welcome Week event proposals due soon

The UWindsor Welcome Week committee invites individuals and organizations to submit proposals for events for the annual fall orientation week, which this year will run September 4 to 10. Faculty organizing the Academic Program Orientation for specific departments are asked to complete a separate event notification form.

The committee is also accepting event proposals for any events that will be held during September’s UWindsor Welcome Month.

Event proposals are due June 30 and the academic program event notification is due July 17 for inclusion in promotional materials that will be distributed in August and September. The UWindsor Welcome Week committee will be making decisions about event proposals during the first two weeks of July.

All events must be inclusive and accessible for all, and must contribute toward at least three of the desired outcomes:

  • Orienting students to campus;
  • Building a sense of community;
  • Fostering school pride, civility and tradition;
  • Promoting wellness and inclusiveness; and
  • Enhancing a sense of fun and excitement.

All forms, planning guidelines and details are available on the UWindsor Welcome Week website. For further information, contact Amber Norman at anorman@uwindsor.ca or 519-253-3000, ext. 3462.
