The program features:
Teams from the Faculty of Law and the campus campaign for United Way raised more than $1300 for the charity’s iClimb event at the WFCU Centre.
Volunteers solicited pledges and then climbed the steps inside the east-end arena.
The law school’s team of students, staff and faculty collected $735 and the team from the central campaign raised $571. Members of the campus community also participated on other teams.
Sherri Overholt of the Centre for Executive and Professional Education helped to organize the event; Karen Pillon of the Leddy Library hosted warm-ups.

“We had a great day,” he said as his staff wound day from the event, which brought about 2,000 visitors to the University for tours, academic presentations, and information on programs and admissions.
“We have been so busy – the sessions were full to capacity. We have been getting wonderful feedback.”

The cold weather has come, affecting some citizens of Windsor much more than anyone can imagine.
Members of the UWindsor fraternity Pi Lambda Phi are taking this as chance to promote awareness of the issue of homelessness by camping in a homemade shelter outside the Leddy Library. They are there for three days and two nights, disregarding any condition Mother Nature throws at them, in an effort to mirror the effect of what it is like to be without a home.
Fraternity president Curtis Makish says they have just the bare basics.
Where’s Winston? You won’t have to wonder today, as the Lancer mascot will post regular updates of his whereabouts on the University’s Facebook and Twitter feeds.
He has signed up to join the Kindness Krew as it journeys around campus to perform random acts of kindness for students, faculty, staff and visitors. If you spot Winston, be sure to ask him for a favour!
Phil Graniero had a fairly simple motive when he shaved off the goatee he normally wears on the weekend and started growing a new moustache.
