“Our students are sophisticated—they use the myUWindsor system, the Web site, or the app for general information,” she says. “When they call the office, it’s because they require personalized assistance and need to talk to a live person.”
The automated menu asked clients to indicate the nature of their call, and sorted them based on those responses.

“In the nomination package are a number of letters of support,” she says. “To me, that was one of the highlights—reading what students and colleagues think of your work.”
A UWindsor drama student is among the finalists in a national contest to land the role of Dorothy in an Andrew Lloyd Webber production of The Wizard of Oz to open in Toronto in December.
