Ali Mozafari’s path through the University of Windsor has been anything but linear.

For decades, the Miami Nation of Indiana has been fighting for its sovereignty to be acknowledged by the United States government, an effort a group of UWindsor students recently supported by helping preserve historical records.

Soumis explains that she takes inspiration from her own associate teachers who left a lasting impression on her.

Randy Beardy never imagined himself becoming a teacher.  

“I’m kind of a rebel at heart,” he laughs. “If you tell me to do something, I have a hard time doing it.”   

Rather than following in his mother's footsteps — also a University of Windsor BEd alum, Beardy (BA Psychology ’17, BEd ’24) says he wanted to become a football coach.
