Brushing the dust off and sifting through some old boxes during a bit of spring cleaning led one staff member to discover pieces of departmental history tucked away in her new office.

Monique Ritz took over the role of undergraduate program and student support secretary last October. While cleaning out her new office, she came across boxes filled with books, papers, a CBC Radio-Canada tape and other archival materials connected to the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (FAHSS).

For the first time since 2019, residents of Windsor-Essex will have a chance to see Windsor Roller Derby (WRD) play locally. 

Founded in 2010 as Border City Brawlers, the league has been playing exclusively on the road for the last few years.  

June 6 marks their return to home track with UWindsor staff, students and alumni among those gearing up for a game at Tecumseh Arena.
