Undergraduate Students

Night time has long been seen as a problem for cities, a time of danger and disorder, but they are now rethinking the meaning of the urban night, according to a visiting lecturer who will speak here Friday.

Of the three Olympic values – excellence, respect and friendship – it’s the last that might matter the most to Samantha Pang.

A second year master’s student in Human Kinetics who specializes in sport management, Pang spent the entire summer working in the Netherlands researching how to build a marketing strategy to increase the number of visits sport enthusiasts and tourists make to the Olympic Experience, an attraction at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.

Part-time undergraduates will have a chance to socialize, schmooze, and sup next week while learning about services and outreach programs available to them.

The Thirsty Scholar is the setting for the Organization of Part-time University Students Pub Night on Wednesday, October 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The event will feature guest speakers from the Canadian Federation of Students and the UWindsor chapter of Engineers Without Borders, as well as a dinner of pizza, chicken wings and pop. There will even be a draw for a cash door prize.

A video recording of the September 28 inaugural reading by writer-in-residence Alan Davies is available on the English department Web site.

The entire event, from introductory remarks through Davies’ poetry and a question-and-answer session, is presented in the 68 minute video. Watch it now.
