A new partnership between the Odette School of Business, University of Windsor, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (ICAO) will provide a fast track into chartered accountancy for university graduates looking for a new career path.

Roberto Sosa has been to some remote corners of Mexico on his quest to learn more about the songs of the wren, but says nothing compared to the month he spent this summer tracking the birds on an isolated jungle island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
“In my personal experience, this was one of my best field seasons in terms of data collection,” said Sosa, a PhD student in associate professor Dan Mennill’s lab in biological sciences.

A call for participation in the Host for the Holidays program is generating more interest from prospective guests than hosts, say organizers.
The program matches international students far from home with Windsor families willing to share Thanksgiving dinner.
“We have a lot of students coming forward, interested in learning more about Canadian culture and celebrations,” says international student advisor Enrique Chacon. “I am worried that we may disappoint a lot of them unless we can recruit more hosts from the staff and faculty.”
Society president Ahmed Abou Gharam called it a great turnout and was excited to have so many members of faculty and administration attend.
“We also would like to acknowledge and give special thanks to the Alumni office for sponsoring the event, coming to the event, engaging the students and providing door prizes,” he said.

More than 200 species of birds make the annual migration from Canada to the tropics. University of Windsor students had a chance to study 47 of them this weekend when they went on a full-day field trip as part of a third-year class in ornithology.
Almost 60 students watched migratory gulls and hawks at Point Pelee National Park, documented avian biodiversity at UWindsor’s Pelee Environmental Research Centre and banded migratory birds at Holiday Beach Conservation Area. Enthusiastic students were impressed to learn about the scale of the autumnal migration through Essex County.

For a very brief moment, Mia Sisic’s eyes well up ever so slightly when asked what she recalls about growing up in a small town in what was still Yugoslavia in the early 1990s during a bitter war that would eventually divide her home country along ethnic and religious lines.
“I remember a lot but I don’t want to talk about it,” she replies with a quick, smiling recovery. “My parents and I still talk about it, but we try to leave that in the past. I do remember being a very happy kid, playing with kids who were Serbian, Muslim and Croatian. It didn’t matter then.”
