Outstanding Scholars

By Kate Hargreaves

When Abby Scott joined the Outstanding Scholars program, she was not expecting to be listed as first author on a book chapter before she finished her undergrad.  

The fourth-year sport management and leadership student didn’t even know what Outstanding Scholars was until she was invited to enrol in the program during her second year as a student-athlete on the women’s volleyball team.

For fourth-year student Zeina Abou Haidar, the University of Windsor has been more than a place of study – it’s where she discovered her passion for research and creative inquiry.

A Communication, Media, and Film major with a minor in French Studies, Zeina says her experience in the University’s Outstanding Scholars program has shaped the way she thinks about learning, collaboration and her future.

“At the end of my first year, I got an email saying I could apply,” she said.
