A graduate student and his team of researchers have turned the chemistry world on its ear by becoming the first ever to prove that tiny interlocked molecules can function inside solid materials, laying the important groundwork for the future creation of molecular machines.

A UWindsor business grad is hoping his alma mater can help get him named Canada’s young entrepreneur of the year. Michael Kaye (MBA 2008) is under consideration for Profit magazine’s FuEL Awards; public voting will count for 20 per cent of the final score.
“If I am selected in the top 20 entrepreneurs it will result in tremendous publicity for Alexa Translations,” the company he runs with fellow Odette grad Gary Kalaci (BSc 2005, LLB 2009, MBA 2009), says Kaye.
The University of Windsor minted more than 3,200 new alumni, and the staff of the Centre for Teaching and Learning was on hand to record the occasion.

As a baseball enthusiast, Dale Jacobs hopes his beloved Detroit Tigers can live up to their pre-season expectations and have a deep run in to the playoffs this fall.
However as an educator, he’s keenly aware that the concept of hope involves much more than his own personal ambitions.
A conference being held in Windsor for the first time ever will provide an excellent chance for young researchers studying the ecology and behaviour of fish to meet some of the top scientists in their field, according to one if its organizers.
The Ecological and Evolutionary Ethology of Fishes conference, June 17 to 21, will bring together researchers from across Canada and across the world to discuss their work.
Before he even got to the University of Windsor, Michael-Anthony Ferrato was helping new students get oriented to campus. It was a habit he kept up through his undergraduate career.
That level of involvement helped to earn the chemistry graduate the 2012 President’s Medal, awarded each year to a graduating student who has made significant contributions to campus and community activities while maintaining a superior academic record.

Amir Mehrabi, who completed his B.A.Sc. in electrical engineering in August 2011, received the 2012 Governor General’s Silver Medal, given at Spring Convocation to the undergraduate student who has achieved the highest academic standing in the graduating class.
The University of Windsor Alumni Association honoured the exceptional accomplishments of Richard Caron, professor of Mathematics & Statistics in the Faculty of Science, with the Alumni Award for Distinguished Contributions to University Teaching during Convocation on Wednesday, June 13.
The award was established in 1987 to provide incentive and encouragement for achieving excellence and teaching at the University of Windsor.
As much as he loves his job as a special constable with the Campus Community Police Service, music is his real passion, says Kevin Jarvis.
“It’s kind of cathartic to have this outlet,” he says. “This is my way to unload and just let things go.”
Jarvis has been playing guitar and singing since he was 17 years old and has just released his first solo CD, seven original songs he composed despite having no formal training in music.
“Some people can sit down with a pen and paper and write songs,” he says. “I would rather just get together and do it.”
Krysia Bussiere didn’t have to wait until she graduated for her education in the Visual Arts and the Built Environment program to land her a job. She has a summer position in Toronto working with B+H Architects, the design firm behind the Centre for Engineering Innovation.
When she crosses the stage at Thursday’s Convocation, Bussiere will be among the first class to graduate from the program. She says it has given her a good foundation to build on.
