UWindsor social media coordinator Tim Brunet invites proud families and friends in attendance to share their snapshots and videos by using the hashtag #uwindsor when they post images to Instagram or Twitter—and to follow posts at instagram.com/uwindsor and @uwindsor.

“I would also welcome anyone sending me their files for me to upload to our various channels,” says Brunet. E-mail submissions to him at tbrunet@uwindsor.ca.

His time interning at the UWindsor’s Green Shield Sports Therapy Clinic is one of the best things he has ever done, says Adam Gaunt.

A graduate of the University of Gloucestershire, he was selected for the internship by the UK Society of Sports Therapists and says in an interview published on its website that he would recommend the experience to others.

“You learn so much, not just about sports therapy, but about yourself too,” Gaunt says.

He singled out athletic therapists Kathy Harvie and Dave Stoute for praise, citing their wealth of experience dealing with student athletes and their injuries. He stayed in Harvie’s home while in Windsor, giving them opportunities for conversations on injuries, prescriptions and philosophies.

And, he describes Stoute’s taping as out of this world: “It was like watching liquid folding around somebody’s ankle.”
