An automated rollout of new designs for UWindsor webpages is scheduled for Thursday, June 15, reports Public Affairs and Communications.

The colour schemes, menus, headers and footers will reflect those already in use on the UWindsor.ca homepage.

“This update will enhance the overall consistency of our web presence,” says PAC director John Coleman. “It will help to reinforce the unity of our message across the entire site.”

Created by advertising agency STC and approved by the University’s senior management, the designs will apply only to websites in version 7 of Drupal, the University’s content management system.

Pages still using previous iterations of Drupal will not receive the upgrade.

The change-over will necessitate no action by web editors, although they may experience minor inconsistencies through the day as the process unfolds. Any serious issues should be reported to Information Technology Services through its Team Dynamix help ticket system.

The UWindsor Welcome Week committee invites individuals and organizations to submit proposals for events for the annual fall orientation program, which this year will run September 3 to 9.

The committee is also accepting event proposals for any events to be held after classes begin September 6 that are appropriate for promotion as UWindsor Welcome Month.

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.

Faculty members organizing Academic Program Orientations for departments are asked to complete a separate event notification form. Academic Program Orientations will be held Wednesday, September 6, prior to the start of classes.

Event proposals for both academic and non-academic events are due Friday, June 30 for inclusion in promotional materials that will be distributed in August and September.

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

A fundraising dinner June 23 will benefit UWindsor food services worker Katherine Pike, who retired in March 2017 after being diagnosed with bone cancer.

“We want to help Kathy and her family,” says Pike’s co-worker, Milka Vasic. “We’re hoping this show of support from her friends and colleagues can make a small difference as she fights this terrible disease.”

The event will feature a cash bar, dancing, door prizes, and a silent auction, as well as a pasta dinner. It will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, June 23, at New Tops of Windsor, 1269 Ottawa Street.

Tickets are $20 per person, available from Vasic by phoning or texting 519-562-8745. Find more information on the event Facebook page.
