FAHSS Philanthropic Projects – March 2023
Philosophy
The Robert C. Pinto Lecture Fund was created to fund the Robert C. Pinto Memorial Lecture Series. The vision was to create a lecture series in the name of Dr. Robert C. Pinto, professor of Philosophy at UWindsor from 1963 until he retired Emeritus in 1999. Dr. Pinto was one of the founding fellows of the Centre for Research in Reasoning, Argumentation, and Rhetoric (CRRAR). The fund was started in 2019 but additional donations are needed for the series to continue. To learn more about Dr. Pinto, please see: In Memoriam: Dr. Robert C. Pinto
English and Creative Writing
Each year there are four (4) Creative Writing courses in which students contribute their work for it to be printed in a chapbook. It creates a lovely keepsake for the students and is something that can be gifted to family and friends. However, it does not come free of charge. The printing of each edition is approximately $350/year and students bear that expense. To learn how your donation could help students defray the costs of printing, please contact Camille L. Armour, Senior Development Officer in FAHSS, at c.armour@uwindsor.ca
Language Literature and Culture (LLC)
In response to the local community’s growing needs, Arabic Studies, previously offered as a degree minor, will now be offered as part of a new BA (General and Honours) Modern Languages with Second Language Education. Funds are needed to hire sessional instructors so this series of courses can be offered. To learn how your donation can help FAHSS offer the series of language and culture courses in Arabic Studies, please contact Camille L. Armour, Senior Development Officer, in FAHSS, at c.armour@uwindsor.ca
