Harpreet Singh Lubana loves cricket.
In fact, the recent graduate missed his Convocation celebration on the weekend so he could help the University of Windsor club team to a second-place finish at the National College Cricket Championship in Metro Detroit.
A right-hand batsman, he earned a BA in liberal and professional studies but passed up his chance to cross the stage Saturday because the ceremony conflicted with a semi-final tournament match. Windsor’s victory in that game put the team into the final on Sunday, where it fell to Michigan Cricket Academy.
After eight years of hard work in Rob Schurko’s lab, Aaron Rossini has a BSc, a PhD and a Governor General’s Gold Medal to show for his efforts. And while he appreciates the educational opportunities working with the chemistry professor afforded him, it was Dr. Schurko’s subtle match-making abilities for which he’s probably most grateful.
Tamara Kowalska was working downtown at the Milk Coffee Bar when a young girl came in and requested a glass of water, and then asked if there would be a charge for it. Kowalska quenched her thirst for free, and later that day while watching a documentary on homeless teens in the area, she recognized the girl was one of the subjects in the film.
A sociology professor whose research involves issues regarding the spread of HIV and AIDS will discuss his work when he appears on CJAM 99.1 FM this afternoon.
After getting several rejection letters from festival organizers, Tony Lau was beginning to second guess his ability as a filmmaker.
“As an artist, you work so hard to make a film and you want it to have an audience,” said Lau, a sessional instructor in Communications, Media and Film and director of a short documentary called Left Behind Woman. “You don’t just want your friends and family watching it. You want to bring awareness to your topic.”
Just the name of a remarkable new piece of equipment in chemistry researcher Rob Schurko’s lab is probably enough to pique the curiosity of the most casual observers of all things scientific: the ultra-fast magic-angle spinning probe.
“It’s amazing what you can do with this thing,” says Dr. Schurko. “The physics and engineering of it is just beautiful.”
Howard Pawley, professor emeritus of political science and former premier of Manitoba, will recount stories from his memoir, Keep True: A Life in Politics, during a free public event at the Windsor Public Library’s central branch on Wednesday, October 19.

Police officers who arrive at fatal crime scenes will be better prepared to gather evidence after participating in an unusual training experiment with members of the university’s forensic sciences program.
“It’s a great learning experience for my officers,” Sgt. Doug Cowper of the Windsor Police Service’s forensic identification branch said yesterday, just before he and some of his colleagues got to the gruesome task of exhuming several dead pigs that had been buried behind the police training facility on Sandwich Street.
