There can be no greater tribute than to know that someone you helped is inspired to go on and help others in the same way.
Romina Oulevey, co-op coordinator in the Centre for Career Education, received that accolade Thursday in accepting the student-nominated award at the annual GEM luncheon.
“Romina encouraged me to increase my confidence level, realize my positive points which ultimately led to my success,” her nominator wrote. “I am now mentoring other students the way she mentored me.”
UWindsor psychology student Tessa Virtue and her ice dancing partner Scott Moir reclaimed their top ranking at the world figure skating championships in Nice, France.
The pair won the 2010 world title as well as the gold medal at the Vancouver Olympic Games, but had to settle for second place at the 2011 world championship. This week, they won both the short program and free skate, finishing with a total of 182.65 points – more than four points ahead of the defending titlists, Meryl Davis and Charlie White.
This Friday, come 7 p.m. at the Katzman Lounge, more than 40 creative writing students will be presenting their work at the Creative Writing Gala Reading.

“I’m really excited,” said Priscilla Bernauer, a fourth-year English literature and creative writing student. “This’ll be my third consecutive year doing it.”
Students have to work over their nerves to perform.
The money wasn’t what drove Ashley Keefner into the Outstanding Scholars program. Instead, says the fourth-year arts and science student, it was the opportunity to work closely with faculty members.
Her inter-faculty program allowed her to work on research projects with physics professor William Baylis and philosophy professor Marcello Guarini. The experience inspired her to pursue graduate study in related fields following her June graduation.
