The University of Windsor’s Faculty of Education has launched its new strategic plan for 2025-2030. 

Grounded in extensive consultations with faculty, staff, students, alumni, community members and school boards, this plan will help shape teaching, research, partnerships and impact over the next five years. 

“Central to this plan is the Faculty’s commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization,” says Dr. Ken Montgomery, dean of the Faculty of Education.

The idea began in the emergency department, where police officers and registered nurses (RN) wondered: what if they could help people before they reached the hospital?

That question sparked Windsor’s Nurse–Police Team (NPT) program, which pairs officers from the Windsor Police Service with RNs from Windsor Regional Hospital to respond to calls in the city’s downtown core.
