The University of Windsor will confer honorary degrees during Spring Convocation ceremonies June 13, 14 and 15, on individuals who have made outstanding contributions to science, literature, the performing arts, politics and law.

Volunteering with the Active Aging and Health Management Program, which serves seniors living with chronic diseases, has given kinesiology students Charles Kahelin and Rob Ward a better appreciation of the wide spectrum of mobility issues people must cope with.
The two are now helping with a research project on the location of emergency evacuation chairs in campus buildings.
Ward, just finished his third year studies in movement science, says that for a university geared to accessibility, the project is important.
