Putting history in perspective and expanding the base of knowledge regarding historical events is not only UWindsor archivist Brian Owen’s calling, it is his passion.

“What we initially may see as possibly a worthless, brown, aged document, may actually have very important value,” says Dr. Owens. “It can really transform the way we think about things. That is what I feel is the most important part of my job as an archivist – being able to take the historical record, interpret it and sew it into other things we already know to make it an exciting document.”

Second-year law student Josh Price had always admired the United Way but never had any idea the charitable network had such a close connection with the UWindsor’s community garden.

“I’m a big fan of the United Way and the work they do,” said the Toronto native. “I’ve often walked by this garden and wondered what it was all about. Now I know.”

A recital by a trio of faculty members in the School of Music will feature the world premiere of a sonata that draws on the composer’s time in Canada’s cottage country.

Clarinetist Trevor Pittman, pianist Gregory Butler and violinist Lillian Scheirich will perform in recital Sunday, November 13, at 2:30 p.m. in Assumption University Chapel. The program includes sonatas by Johannes Brahms and César Franck and the Trio for violin, clarinet and piano by Aram Khachaturian, as well as a new work by former UWindsor instructor Robert Rival.

As a young boy, Josh Mellanby recalls being glued to the television, fascinated by the old episodes of The Twilight Zone that his mother had turned him on to.

“It was one of the biggest influences in my life,” the 30-year-old filmmaker says of the old Rod Serling-directed mind-bending science fiction television series. “I loved the twists of fate and the way they could craft these complex stories in such a short amount of time.”
