Nicole Canzoneri didn’t enrol in Windsor Law just to become a lawyer.

“I am in law school to develop the tools to make the social change I always dreamed of,” she says.

Giang Nguyen had never owned a restaurant or even worked in a kitchen when she moved to Canada three years ago with her family. 

A trained teacher with a master's degree in teaching English as a second language from her home country of Vietnam, Nguyen came to Windsor to pursue a master of education at the University of Windsor.

Going to the gym plays a major role in Dr. Fallon Mitchell's (PhD Kinesiology, '26) mental and physical health. 

However, gyms are not always accessible or welcoming places for everyone, including people with a disability.
