Being legally protected on the basis of gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation is not the same thing as belonging.

The English Undergraduate Student Association (EUSA) executive team set out three goals for the past term.
They included: launch this year’s zine Generation: Liminality at Biblioasis Bookshop, host two events each month and plan an overnight trip to Stratford to see a Shakespearean play.
“We did not know if the Stratford trip was going to be possible at all,” said EUSA co-president Maya Roumie. “We’re of the generation that experienced the COVID pandemic in high school, and we didn’t really get school trips the way other people did.”

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.
