The values instilled in a nursing grad who helped a dying man get the most from his final days and then go on to co-author a book about him were acquired right here at the University of Windsor, she says.
“The University of Windsor has been an indelible part of my career,” says Grace Bradish (BScN, BA, 1977). “It’s been a fundamental part of everything I’ve done. It was a huge gift for me to be able to get in there. It was a very solid nursing program and the university community was really, really tight.”
Canadian Interuniversity Sport named UWindsor grad Nicole Sassine (BHK 2011, B.Ed 2012) to its Academic Top 8 for the 2011/12 season. The award recognizes one female and one male student-athlete from each of the four CIS regional associations for their academic and athletic successes.
Sassine was an A+ student in kinesiology, earning academic all-Canadian honours and membership on the Dean’s Achievement List and the President’s Honour Roll each of the past four years. In 2012, she received the DeMarco Trophy as the University’s top female student-athlete.

Despite the fact that social media web sites like Flickr are worth millions of dollars, the users who generate nearly all the content for them are surprisingly comfortable with their labour being “unwaged,” according to a new communications professor.
“The thought of someone else making money off their work doesn’t hold much sway with Flickr members,” said Brian A. Brown, an assistant professor who joined the department of Communication, Media and Film this fall.
A Hallowe’en tour through the basement of Electa Hall will draw on the building’s haunted history, says organizer Michael Dasilva, a resident assistant.
“We are trying to make it more traditional,” says the second-year law student. “We are basing it a lot on its former use as a nunnery and all the legends of Electa Hall.”
The event runs 7 to 11 p.m. on Monday, October 29, and will feature student volunteers enacting scenes of terror—although the presentation can be tamed for younger patrons.
JoAnn Sabourin can pass a test. The test centre specialist in the Office of the Registrar aced Thursday’s DailyNews quiz and won two tickets to an Afternoon Jazz concert with the Dave Bennett quartet, Sunday, October 28, at 2:30 p.m. in the Mackenzie Hall Cultural Centre, 3277 Sandwich Street.
Sabourin’s name was drawn from all respondents who correctly identified Doug Cobb as a drummer like Gene Krupa, Woody Herman as the leader of the Thundering Herd, and a Harlem ballroom as the setting for Stompin’ at the Savoy.
