A new opportunity for experiential learning and research is available to UWindsor students this coming summer in Botswana. 

Part of the Faculty of Education’s Global Community Engagement Program (GCEP), which already provides international service-learning opportunities in China, Jamaica and Tanzania, Botswana is the latest country to be added to this list of options.

Having studied the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games (Milano Cortina 2026) held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy this past semester, five University of Windsor graduate students from the Faculty of Human Kinetics received an Olympic-calibre experience of their own last month.

The group, led by UWindsor professor Dr. Scott Martyn, travelled to Toronto, Montreal and Lake Placid, New York, to experience the modern Olympic movement first-hand.
