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 [1].
