For Victoria Lessard, being a part of the University of Windsor campus for a week was an eye-opening experience. 

The Grade 11 student from St. Anne's Catholic High School, along with 59 other students from across Windsor-Essex, learned about a wide range of science career paths at the 13th annual Science Academy. 

The English Undergraduate Student Association (EUSA) executive team set out three goals for the past term.

They included: launch this year’s zine Generation: Liminality at Biblioasis Bookshop, host two events each month and plan an overnight trip to Stratford to see a Shakespearean play.

“We did not know if the Stratford trip was going to be possible at all,” said EUSA co-president Maya Roumie. “We’re of the generation that experienced the COVID pandemic in high school, and we didn’t really get school trips the way other people did.”

Just a few years ago, Aaron Aine imagined a very different future.

Growing up in Uganda, he studied history, economics and literature with plans to become a lawyer. Nursing was never part of the plan.

Everything changed after immigrating to Canada in 2019. Aine completed his final year of high school in Scarborough before enrolling in the University of Windsor's nursing program at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was adapting to a new country, a new education system and a new way of learning all at once.
