In contrast to previous practice, DailyNews will publish each weekday through December 21, as well as January 2, 3 and 4 in the new year.
“Some of those editions might be pretty short, given people’s schedules,” says editor Kevin Johnson. “However, we are trying to provide the best possible service and hope that retaining daily publication will make it easier for readers to get the information they need.”
What’s blue and gold and encourages UWindsor students to eat healthy during exams? Lancer varsity athletes!
When nutritionist Chris Wellington wanted to promote healthy diet choices on video screens at Food Services outlets across campus, she knew just where to turn.
“What sends a better message about eating right than images of our Lancers?” she asked. “They are the embodiment of the healthy balance we hope all our students will strive for.”
Christmas has become too commercial, says Janeen Auld, which makes the Adopt-a-Family program a perfect way for her to celebrate the holiday.
“My family doesn’t exchange gifts,” says Auld, an instrument technician in the chemistry department. “It’s just too much stuff. Buying for people truly in need is the only type of shopping I want to do.”
Attendees at Friday’s event to celebrate the University of Windsor’s takeover of the former Windsor Star buildings will be entertained by a band of music students.
The jazz group the Udder Guys—house band at the Milk Coffee Bar—will be playing while students and alumni, faculty and staff, and community members gather for a mass crowd photo in front of the buildings at the corner of Pitt and Ferry streets in downtown Windsor.
Downtown businesses are preparing to welcome participants in Friday’s mass photo shoot marking the occasion of the official transfer of ownership of the former Windsor Star buildings to the University of Windsor.
“Say Cheese for the Keys” will record the historic moment at noon; buses will shuttle students, staff and faculty from Vanier Circle starting at 11 a.m.
“Turning dreams into reality takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort,” said Olympian Jesse Owens, winner of four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.
This year’s education campaign on academic integrity reflects that message and shares it on posters available for distribution across campus in coming weeks.
The Office of Public Affairs and Communications and the Document Imaging Centre have teamed up to make it easier to send holiday greetings on campus.
An online form will allow departments to order cards bearing a selection of seasonal imagery and text greetings for use as printed cards, e-cards, or both.
“We wanted to give people the flexibility to personalize their holiday cards, while still ensuring a manageable workload that can turn around the product in a reasonable amount of time,” says Jennifer Ammoscato, senior manager of marketing, publications and Web.
The University invites students, faculty, staff and supporters to “Say Cheese for the Keys” at noon on Friday, November 30, as it takes possession of the Windsor Star buildings at the corner of Ferry and Pitt streets.
The 2011-12 annual report, now available online, provides information on the University of Windsor’s activities in support of its strategic plan Thinking Forward … Taking Action.
UWindsor president Alan Wildeman says the document informs the campus, the region and beyond about what’s important to the University.
“Our plan puts an emphasis on our students, on building on our research and creative activity that contributes to society’s needs, and engaging the community around us,” he says.
With a coffee table book on the University of Windsor nearing completion, the project’s photographer Richard Bain says there still a few holes to be filled.
He has spent more than a year taking pictures of campus life for a book to be published in celebration of the University’s 50th anniversary in 2013. The hardbound volume will feature about 120 pages of full-colour photographs as well as essays on the University’s history and a foreword by professor emeritus Alistair MacLeod.
Bain says he has received a lot of support from faculty, staff and students.
