Giving to the University of Windsor
The University of Windsor is more than an institution; it is a community. And like any community, it is made up of people with various roles to play — students and graduates, faculty, administrators, staff — none more important than the role of supporter. There are many ways to show your support:
- Make a financial donation
- Become a mentor
- Attend campus events
- Volunteer with the alumni association
The University of Windsor greatly appreciates the generous support of its alumni, faculty, staff, students, friends and donors. Many fundraising initiatives are undertaken by the university each year, including targeted support for academic programs, student scholarships, building campaigns, research and more. Information on such campaigns, faculty needs, as well as scholarships and bursaries can be found by visiting the Development web page.
To inquire about making a donation to a faculty, program or special campaign, simply e-mail our fund development staff at donations@uwindsor.ca.
For more information about the university's Annual Giving campaign, which raises funds year-round to create scholarships, bursaries and awards for students.
There are many opportunities to make a difference in a student's life. Among the ways you can give students the benefit of your experience are:
- Advise students and new graduates on their career choices
- Help students get hands-on experience — become a co-op employer
- Provide a welcome to an international student
- Hire a University of Windsor graduate
Whether it's cheering on Lancer sports teams or applauding a theatre production, the University of Windsor offers a wealth of entertainment possibilities. In addition, free public lectures provide unequalled educational experiences.
