Phil Graniero is looking for a few mo’ men to join him in his fight against prostate cancer.

A professor in Earth and Environmental Sciences, Dr. Graniero has participated for the last couple of years in Movember.

Three members of the University’s staff garnered more benefit than they expected this month when they used the payroll deduction program to pay for some campus purchases: they each received a $10 gift card from the UwinCARD office in a random draw of its employee customers.

The payroll deduction program allows faculty and staff to use their UwinCARD to charge food or bookstore purchases and have the cost deducted from their next paycheque. In an effort to encourage its use, the office has started monthly prize draws.

The values instilled in a nursing grad who helped a dying man get the most from his final days and then go on to co-author a book about him were acquired right here at the University of Windsor, she says.

“The University of Windsor has been an indelible part of my career,” says Grace Bradish (BScN, BA, 1977). “It’s been a fundamental part of everything I’ve done. It was a huge gift for me to be able to get in there. It was a very solid nursing program and the university community was really, really tight.”
