When Marc Zhichang Xu visited Windsor for the first time in early 2024, he found his time at the University to be “impressive and inspirational.”

“I was particularly inspired by the Indigenous Spirit on the Turtle Island Walk on the campus,” he says, referencing the Seven Grandfather Teachings represented along the route.

Having since published on the topic of Indigenizing knowledge, Dr. Xu will return to the University of Windsor in early November for two talks in the Faculty of Education.

In his home country of Nigeria, civil engineer Samuel Ehikhuenmen worked as a faculty member at the University of Lagos. Moving to Windsor to take up doctoral studies, he soon realized making important connections was key.

That’s where The CUBE came in.

A hub providing resources, networking, and a platform for Indigenous and Black scholars to thrive, it launched in September 2023, led by director Kemi Anazodo, an assistant professor at the Odette School of Business.
