Business grad hoping to make national mark as young entrepreneur

A UWindsor business grad is hoping his alma mater can help get him named Canada’s young entrepreneur of the year. Michael Kaye (MBA 2008) is under consideration for Profit magazine’s FuEL Awards; public voting will count for 20 per cent of the final score.

“If I am selected in the top 20 entrepreneurs it will result in tremendous publicity for Alexa Translations,” the company he runs with fellow Odette grad Gary Kalaci (BSc 2005, LLB 2009, MBA 2009), says Kaye.

Involvement started early for President’s Medal winner

Before he even got to the University of Windsor, Michael-Anthony Ferrato was helping new students get oriented to campus. It was a habit he kept up through his undergraduate career.

One ten park becomes a working space for four UWindsor artists

Four artists with ties to the University of Windsor’s School of Visual Arts have teamed up to open a working studio in the city’s downtown.

Alumni Arturo Herrera (BFA 2011), Collette Broeders (BFA 2009) and Alana Bartol (BFA 2004) and professor Susan Gold Smith have established their collective enterprise at 110 Park Street West, in the base of Victoria Park Place.

“We were all looking for studio space and we all wanted a space where we were in close contact with other artists—where we could be stimulated by the creative energy of others,” says Bartol.
