Partnership and Engagement

By Kate Hargreaves 

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.

Over 100 families attended this year’s Togetherness Initiative, an annual event organized by teacher candidates in the Faculty of Education. 

As part of the service-learning course Vulnerability, Marginalization and Education (VME), BEd students planned and implemented the event at Frank W. Begley Public School in Windsor, offering activities and supports for local families facing economic and social barriers. 

The University of Windsor is home to unique archival collections that document elements of the Black history of Southwestern Ontario.  

Stewarded by the Archives and Special Collections Team in Leddy Library, these collections reflect a long-standing commitment to preserving histories that have shaped the region socially, culturally and intellectually.

Wawrow and Mladenoski are two of the 16 participants in this year’s Teach Tanzania trip, which has allowed students to make the three-week trip to Tanzania each spring since 2008.

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.
