Elementary and secondary teachers play a critical role in building student skills in responsible environmental citizenship.
That’s why, when the Faculty of Education recently revised its B.Ed. course offerings, it was only logical that one of the new electives focus on environmental sustainability.

Sara Williams knew she wanted to be a nurse by the time she was in Grade 6.
The pull toward health care came early, shaped by childhood visits to the hospital where her mother worked as a lab technician in Port Huron, Mich.
Annual “bring your child to work” days offered Williams an up-close look at patient care — and sparked an early fascination with the role of the nurse.
She carried that certainty into her first year of nursing school — until reality hit.

That conversation sparked a movement.

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.
