The School for Arts and Creative Innovation is offering DailyNews readers a chance to win two free tickets to the University Wind Ensemble’s concert “Songs of the Sea and Beyond,” Friday, November 23, at 7:30 p.m. at Banwell Community Church.

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.

Patient safety is critical for everyone working in health care, and now the Faculty of Nursing has a group of student volunteers who will be championing the cause.

The faculty recently announced the appointment of its first Patient Safety Champions.

“The program is focused on advancing the understanding of the science of patient safety and quality improvement in our nursing students,” said Susan Dennison, a professor in the faculty, who along with colleague Michelle Freeman announced the appointments last week.

The University Wind Ensemble will take its listeners to sea Friday with the program of its concert “Songs of the Sea and Beyond.”

Director Ric Moor will lead the ensemble through such selections as “They Came Sailing” from Andre Jutras’ Suite Jacques-Cartier; “Sea Songs” by Ralph Vaughn Williams; the “Air” and “Finale” movements from G. F. Handel’s Water Music; and Percy A. Grainger’s composition “Molly on the Shore.”
