Alumni Week

For Jessica Monteith (BA 2015) and Rizki Sirois (BComm 2015), the University of Windsor is more than just where they earned their degrees.  

Campus is the place where their lives became deeply intertwined. 

So much so, that the couple returned to campus on July 31 to exchange vows in front of Dillon Hall, honouring the place where their relationship first blossomed. 

The choice to mark such an important milestone at UWindsor was intentional and symbolic.

An exciting week of events is planned to celebrate Alumni Week. This year’s events celebrate the enduring connection of alumni: Then. Now. Always a Lancer.

On Wednesday, Sept. 24, the annual campus community barbecue welcomes students, staff and faculty to River Commons between noon and 1:30 p.m., while supplies last.

Complimentary burgers and chips with halal and vegan options will be served. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles to refill at the mobile hydration station.

As a student of the University of Windsor’s Nursing program in the early 2000s, Farah Laurent had no idea that her journey would one day lead her to national television, keynote stages and the frontlines of healthcare education across North America.

But the seeds of ambition and advocacy were already deeply rooted, and they’ve since flourished into a transformative nursing career that blends leadership, entrepreneurship and global influence.

The Alumni Association invites you to join us on campus for a fun week of alumni events including Black Alumni Weekend, the Alumni Tailgate and Lancers Football.

Alumni Week 2025 runs from Monday, September 22 to Saturday, September 27!
