When professor of English and Creative Writing Nicole Markotić was selecting books for the department’s final graduate-level creative writing class, she knew she wanted to make a big splash. 

“We wanted a course objective that would both celebrate past achievements and project our current student cohort into their own literary futures,” she explains.

For kinesiology professor Chad Sutherland, the phrase “volunteer work” is a misnomer. 

“I don’t really view it as work,” he says. 

“I view it as something everyone should be doing: getting involved and helping in the things that you love to do, whether that’s bringing expertise to an area or offering an extra set of hands. It’s all important, and we need it more than ever right now.”

When Marc Zhichang Xu visited Windsor for the first time in early 2024, he found his time at the University to be “impressive and inspirational.”

“I was particularly inspired by the Indigenous Spirit on the Turtle Island Walk on the campus,” he says, referencing the Seven Grandfather Teachings represented along the route.

Having since published on the topic of Indigenizing knowledge, Dr. Xu will return to the University of Windsor in early November for two talks in the Faculty of Education.

When George Zhou visited a high school in Japan as part of a six-week trip to Nagoya University, he was struck by the collaborative approach of the teachers.  

“When the school principal led me to a large open room, I was astonished by what I saw,” said Dr. Zhou.

Rather than sitting and working independently, Zhou saw teachers sharing resources and moving around the room to talk to their colleagues.

About five years ago, a group of electrical engineering students set out to bring their circuit designs and classroom theory to life by creating a space where students could see their ideas take shape. That vision has now been fully realized with the opening of a new student-led innovation space, aptly called the IDEA Lab.

Building strong business relationships sometimes means stepping out of the boardroom, onto the green, and driving connections. 

Trading formal office wear for a polo shirt and baseball cap, assistant professor Matt Wilson of the Odette School of Business focuses on using golf as a business tool in his course, Teeing Off for Business Success.
