Fawad Ahmed hopes the result of his summer labour will be far fewer people contracting pneumonia after they’re admitted to an intensive care unit.
When she arrived at the University of Windsor three years ago to begin her post-secondary career, she was grateful for assistance in getting settled, recalls chemistry student Samantha Scalia.
“It was really hectic,” she said. “I was so glad to have so many people helping new students.”
That’s why she decided to get involved as a volunteer with Windsor Welcome Week. Scalia was one of dozens of students who pitched in to help about new arrivals haul their belongings into residence Sunday.
