Just a few years ago, Aaron Aine imagined a very different future.
Growing up in Uganda, he studied history, economics and literature with plans to become a lawyer. Nursing was never part of the plan.
Everything changed after immigrating to Canada in 2019. Aine completed his final year of high school in Scarborough before enrolling in the University of Windsor's nursing program at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was adapting to a new country, a new education system and a new way of learning all at once.

That was until she received word just a few weeks before kick-off that she had been selected from thousands of applicants.
Not only was Asoufi going to be part of the World Cup; she was going to be on the pitch in the centre circle as part of pre-match ceremonies at Toronto Stadium.

When recent nursing graduate Eunice Kungu travelled to Tanzania as part of the University of Windsor’s 2026 Teach Tanzania trip, it was for the second time.
Kungu, who is originally from Kenya, first participated in the 2025 trip when she was a third-year nursing student. When the opportunity arose to return in 2026, she knew she wanted to go back.
“What motivated me to return was the connection we built with the community and seeing the positive impact that comes from being part of this initiative,” Kungu says.

As climate change strips ice from the Great Lakes, something less visible is also changing: the underwater world of light that microscopic life depends on.
When ice recedes, wind and water stir sediment, clouding the water and blocking the sunlight that drives photosynthesis at the base of the food web. What looks like a simple seasonal shift is, in scientific terms, a restructuring of habitat.
