At any hour of the day or night, while most of campus studies, works or sleeps, a dedicated group of student volunteers is ready to respond.
The University of Windsor Student Medical Response Service (UWSMRS) operates 24/7, providing immediate, often critical care to the campus community. Behind the radios and emergency kits is a student experience defined by responsibility, resilience and purpose.

For Dr. Rebecca Balasa, the path to nursing didn't start in a classroom.
Her own experiences as a pediatric patient introduced her to the role nurses play, not only in delivering treatment, but in providing comfort and connection.
“I was really inspired by my own healthcare team,” she said. “It was through my relationships with nurses and seeing everything they do that I decided to go into the profession.”
That sense of purpose continues to guide her as she joins the University of Windsor’s Faculty of Nursing.

What do you wear to work?
Is what you wear truly your choice?
Or is it a reflection of how your workplace signals you are expected to look?
What employees wear is often assumed to be a personal decision, but in reality, those choices are often shaped by workplace norms, informal cues and broader power structures.
Clothing can affect how professionalism is judged, how credibility and organizational fit are assigned and how comfortable someone feels simply existing at work.
