Feminist blogger, radio host and ad-buster Jennie Thunder will make three public appearances in Windsor on Tuesday, March 6.

At 10 a.m., she will analyze advertisements we see every day and offer tools to continue the critique outside the classroom in her presentation “Rethink, Reclaim: Occupy the Media,” in Alumni Hall’s McPherson Lounge.

At 1 p.m., Thunder will engage in an interactive discussion, “Storming the Media,” on her efforts to harness the media to project her own feminist voice, also in Alumni Hall’s McPherson Lounge.

The local branch of the Ontario Association of Social Workers is hosting an information fair on campus Tuesday to bring service agencies and students together.

The event is free to students, says the association’s treasurer, Derek Conliffe.

“It provides a networking opportunity for students and agencies in Windsor and Essex County to come out and talk about the many services the agencies provide in the area,” he said.

It runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 6 in the CAW Student Centre’s Ambassador Auditorium, and offers free refreshments.

The University Players’ production of Anton Chekhov’s 1895 drama The Seagull opened Thursday at Essex Hall Theatre.

Directed by guest artist J.Ed Araiza, a writer, director and performer with New York’s SITI Company, the show will go on until March 11.

When he woke up Tuesday, the last thing Paul Marchwica expected was to be entering a paper airplane competition. But the master’s student in mechanical engineering read in DailyNews about the Red Bull Paper Wings qualifier in the CAW Student Centre and set to work.

“I researched on the Internet and found the dragon design,” Marchwica said. “It pays to learn from the best.”
