Does Aspirin cause the “phantom” ringing in the ears known as tinnitus?

Thanks to the scholarship support he has received, biology doctoral student Chirag Patel has been able to concentrate on his innovative clinical research into this question.

“Over the past two years I have received the Drs. Roger and Audrey Award for Clinical Research, allowing me to worry less about the constant financial pressures of making ends meet,” he said June 5, at a reception for donors to student scholarships.

A reception today to honour staff, faculty and retiree donors to the Annual Giving Program will proceed rain or shine, says organizer Mona Dosen. Luckily, forecasters are calling for fair weather.

Dosen, a development officer in University Advancement, says the event is a chance to show appreciation for supporters of UWindsor fundraising efforts.

“Every single employee gives so much to our students, it’s absolutely true,” she says. “Those who go beyond by donating for student scholarships, for state-of-the-art facilities and campus amenities deserve special recognition.”

The planting in a new garden outside the Leddy Library will carry a special message honouring faculty and staff members who have “planted a seed” by supporting the University’s fundraising efforts.

The refurbished garden, featuring a bubbling fountain along with trees, grasses and other plants native to the region, is the setting for a reception in recognition of donors to the Annual Giving Program on Thursday, May 24.

In donating to the Annual Giving Program, UWindsor employees and retirees do more than support the specific causes most dear to them, says campaign chair Bruce Tucker. This year, they have made a concrete impact on campus beautification.

A reception May 24 to recognize participating donors will also mark the formal dedication of a garden bed that spells out the university’s appreciation.
