Ford Motor Company helped establish Windsor as the automotive capital of Canada, but the people who worked on its assembly line built much more than vehicles.

When Henry Ford established the first international Ford plant in the early 1900s at the corner of Riverside Drive and Drouillard Road, immigrants and workers from various backgrounds came with it, building a community in Ford City.

Afreen Raj Dharani had spent months studying supply chain theory in a Windsor classroom.

On Feb. 18, she spent eight hours watching it move.

The first-year Master of Management student specializes in logistics and supply chain and brings a globally shaped perspective to her studies and career goals.

Born in Mumbai, Dharani moved to Uganda as an infant, where she completed her early education. She later pursued business studies in Malaysia, earning a dual degree in international business.

Sometimes the most valuable lesson from a co-op placement is discovering what you do not want to do.

For many students, experiential learning helps confirm career ambitions. For others, it opens the door to opportunities they may not have known existed.

Exploring different industries, roles and workplace environments can provide valuable insight into personal strengths, interests and long-term goals.

University of Windsor alumnus Eric Parker (BASc Hons. ’18) experienced that firsthand.

For students and researchers with ideas to build businesses or not-for-profits, entrepreneurship can feel like a world apart from academic life. A new hub at the University of Windsor aims to bring the two closer together.

Science students are learning to create original works of art to explain scientific research.

In a new University of Windsor research-creation project, undergraduate students will explore how sculpting, painting and drawing can be used to convey research.

University of Windsor students across undergraduate programs will have a new accelerated route to medical school beginning in fall 2026 through a partnership with the American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSOM). 

The pathway will allow qualified students to move into medical education after as little as two years at UWindsor and ultimately earn both a UWindsor undergraduate degree and an ACSOM medical degree in as little as six years.
