"The Faculty of Education, in particular, and grad studies in general, at the University of Windsor have transformed me holistically from what I was in the past as a teacher to who I am today. It has impacted me intellectually, emotionally, creatively, artistically and socially." -Syed Ali Nasir Zaidi, MA, M.Ed. (SLACS)
