From cutting waste to conserving energy, UWindsor researchers can make their labs more sustainable through the University’s Green Labs Program, now recruiting its second cohort for 2026-27.
Green Labs supports researchers in reducing their labs’ environmental impact by implementing sustainable and efficient practices, including green chemistry, energy conservation, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, water conservation and waste management.
University of Windsor students across undergraduate programs will have a new accelerated route to medical school beginning in fall 2026 through a partnership with the American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSOM).
The pathway will allow qualified students to move into medical education after as little as two years at UWindsor and ultimately earn both a UWindsor undergraduate degree and an ACSOM medical degree in as little as six years.
