Chili warms chilly day for charity supporters

Diners who showed up for a lunch hosted by the Campus Campaign for United Way outside the student centre Thursday were surprised to be served by UWindsor president Robert Gordon, who joined campaign co-chair Vincent Georgie, associate vice-president, external, in donning an apron to dole out chili.

Hundreds of students, staff, and faculty partook of the event, held in honour of the late professor emeritus Datta Pillay, who spearheaded campus support of the charity for some 40 years.
