Faculty

Director Tory James has put together a “wonderful cast” drawn from the campus and surrounding community for a staged reading of Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris, tonight—Friday, December 7.

“We have a great group this year,” says James, a photographer in the Centre for Teaching and Learning. “And you can’t go wrong with this material. I guarantee that people will be laughing until they cry.”

James describes the seven women who will read:

The air in the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation is about to get a lot cleaner.

Workers from Nedlaw Living Walls were busy this week installing more than 1,500 plants into the building’s biowall, which will help naturally filter the air that flows through the 300,000 square foot engineering building.

Campus flags will be lowered Friday, December 7, in memory of professor emeritus David Wurfel, who died November 12 in his Seattle, Washington, home.

Dr. Wurfel joined the UWindsor faculty in 1968 as an associate professor in the Department of Political Science. He was appointed to the rank of professor in 1972 and held that position until his 1993 retirement.

Funeral services were held December 1 in Seattle.

A video recording the November 30 celebration of the University’s takeover of the former Windsor Star buildings is now available for viewing.

The video by Suede Productions captures the historic handover of keys to the complex from Star publisher Marty Beneteau to UWindsor president Alan Wildeman. Hundreds of students, staff, faculty, alumni and assorted well-wishers were on hand to witness the moment.
