When social work professor Maddie Brockbank first saw the call for applications to UWindsor’s Innovation Fellowship, she wasn’t sure her work would be a good fit. 

“I remember thinking, this is not for me,” she recalls. 

Ten University of Windsor researchers are turning their work into ventures as members of the inaugural Innovation Fellowship cohort. 

The fellows aim to bring research-based business ideas to market, from a cybersecurity training program to a low-cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device.

When recent nursing graduate Eunice Kungu travelled to Tanzania as part of the University of Windsor’s 2026 Teach Tanzania trip, it was for the second time. 

Kungu, who is originally from Kenya, first participated in the 2025 trip when she was a third-year nursing student. When the opportunity arose to return in 2026, she knew she wanted to go back. 

“What motivated me to return was the connection we built with the community and seeing the positive impact that comes from being part of this initiative,” Kungu says.
