Conference promises to transcend borders Tuesday

The UWill Discover undergraduate research conference—Tuesday, March 29, in the CAW Student Centre’s Ambassador Auditorium—will feature a keynote panel at midday.

“We’re excited to take this non-traditional approach to a keynote presentation,” says conference chair Simon du Toit.

The panel will feature six keynote speakers offering their unique perspectives on the theme “Transcending Borders: Visions from the Windsor/Detroit Corridor.” They are:

  • UWindsor president Alan Wildeman;
  • William Anderson, director of the Cross Border Institute;
  • professor Michael Darroch of the School of Creative Arts;
  • Russell Nahdee, director of the Aboriginal Education Centre;
  • Jaydee Tarpeh, president of the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance; and
  • Jerry Herron, dean of the Irvin D. Reid Honors College at Wayne State University.

Research presentations by students in a variety of disciplines make up the bulk of the day’s program.
