Acclaimed poet Marie Howe (BA 1974) was stunned to learn she had been awarded the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for her collection New and Selected Poems.
“It was absolutely stunning and surprising that this happened,” she recalled. “I heard about the news from a friend who called me and said, ‘You won the Pulitzer.’ I didn’t believe it. For about three or four minutes, we went back and forth, and I told him, ‘Stop, that’s not even funny, don’t even say that.’”

“The field course was a pivotal point in my academic journey because if not for my study abroad experience, I genuinely would not be in this lab and I wouldn’t be doing my master’s in this area of study,” says Natalie Emerick (BSc 2025).
In 2023, Emerick and 13 other University of Windsor undergraduate science students accompanied professors Dan Mennill and Stéphanie Doucet to Paris for a field study course.

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.
