What makes libraries meaningful is what people learn, discover and create within them, says university librarian and dean Selinda Berg. Students at the University of Windsor now have a new space to do just that.

As campus bustled with new students Tuesday, the Leddy Library celebrated the official opening of the Graduate Student Society (GSS) Study Commons with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

All that will change this summer as the Graduate Student Society (GSS), with support from the Faculty of Human Kinetics, the Faculty of Engineering and the Odette School of Business, opens a newly renovated cricket pitch on campus.
