Faculty

With a theme of “Opening Doors with Technology,” the sixth annual Campus Technology Day is set for Thursday, May 17, in the CAW Student Centre.

The interactive event brings together faculty, staff and students to discuss the impact technology has in enhancing learning, teaching, research and building community on campus.

Organizers have issued a call for proposals, inviting presenters to share their expertise and experiences with colleagues, through:

A pair of University of Windsor professors will lead discussion of Jane Austen’s Emma during a combined lunch and lecture preceding the University Players performance on Sunday, February 5.

Let’s Talk Theatre is a luncheon-lecture series produced jointly by University Players and Uni-Com. Attendees will enjoy a three-course meal featuring either beef stroganoff or a vegetarian platter, as well as presentations by English professor Suzanne Matheson and drama professor Erica Stevens Abbitt.

University Players continues its 53rd season with Jane Austen’s classic comedy, Emma. The play runs February 2 to 5 and 8 to 12 at Essex Hall Theatre.

Jane Austen’s characters come to life in this new adaptation of the classic novel Emma, a romantic comedy about a precocious girl who finds matchmaking “the most wonderful game in the world.” She plants ideas in people’s heads which grow feelings in their hearts, and through this meddling she finds her own heart’s desire – but only when she is about to lose him.

Robert Benton, an instructor of tuba and euphonium at the School of Music, will perform concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and Wolfgang Mozart before concluding with Gilbert Vinter’s The Playful Pachyderm, in recital today.

Benton is currently pursuing a Doctor of Music degree at the University of Michigan. He won several concerto competitions as a student at Oakland and Michigan State universities and most recently travelled to South Korea for the Jeju International Wind Ensemble Festival Brass Competition, where he was a finalist.
