Publishing course gives students the upper hand

UWindsor students have the upper hand among Canadian universities when it comes to the publishing process, thanks to a creative writing professor who involves them in his publishing company.

Black Moss Press founder Marty Gervais presents two manuscripts each year to the students in his editing practicum course. They have to go through the complete editing process, giving them a real feel for what the industry is like.

Gervais said it is the only course in Canada that allows students to work with real manuscripts they marshal through the entire publishing process.

Social worker's homelessness research showcased on Joe Strummer Day on CJAM

It seems only fitting that Debra Hernandez-Jozefowicz would be the featured guest on a radio show on CJAM on the same day the station is paying tribute to Joe Strummer, the former front man of the pioneering British punk band The Clash.

Not only does she conduct research on youth homelessness, an issue that was near and dear to Strummer’s heart, but she even quoted him in her own PhD dissertation.

Everybody loves a man in red

 

He’s big and sturdy with a generous heart, a great sense of humour and a wicked ride.  Sound like every woman’s dream? It’s no wonder Lara MacMillan has a Thing for Santa.

Singer-songwriter MacMillan, a UWindsor alum (Ed ’96), has written and recorded I’ve Got a Thing for Santa, which has been getting airplay around Ontario after the song’s debut at Stratford’s Santa’s Parade of Lights on Nov. 27.

Law alum grateful for social justice emphasis

A traditional law practice was never in the cards for Windsor Law graduate Anny Strojin (’83), and that was the very thing that attracted her to UWindsor nearly 30 years ago.

Strojin, a St. Catherine’s native, recently attended a UWindsor reunion at the Shaw Festival, where she heard University President Alan Wildeman encouraging grads to share stories of why they are proud to call UWindsor their alma mater.

Holiday Host program still in need of host families

UWindsor International students hoping to share Christmas festivities with Canadian families may not all get their wish this holiday season without some last minute help from UWindsor faculty, staff and the Windsor community.

Student food bank stocked by Food for Fines

Everybody was a winner at the conclusion of the Leddy Library Food for Fines program which wrapped up December 9.  The Iona College student food bank received 648 canned goods and other food items, and many library patrons were breathing a sigh of guilt-free relief at getting their library materials back to their rightful home.

The program, organized by the Access Services staff, credited each non-perishable, non-expired food item donated at the Leddy’s circulation desk at a rate of $2 off outstanding overdue fines, to a maximum of $50 per person.
