The idea began in the emergency department, where police officers and registered nurses (RN) wondered: what if they could help people before they reached the hospital?

That question sparked Windsor’s Nurse–Police Team (NPT) program, which pairs officers from the Windsor Police Service with RNs from Windsor Regional Hospital to respond to calls in the city’s downtown core.

A transformative new endowment from the Samit & Reshma Sharma Foundation is set to strengthen graduate research at the University of Windsor.

The $300,003 gift establishes three endowed graduate scholarships that will support outstanding thesis-based students in areas where the institution demonstrates national leadership: automotive engineering, Great Lakes ecology and sports and health kinetics.

The University of Windsor recently welcomed a delegation from Suzhou Centennial College (SCC), a joint international institution established with Centennial College (CC) that assists Chinese students seeking access to Canadian postsecondary education.

The visit reflects shared priorities in student mobility, academic collaboration and international pathway development, building on UWindsor’s previously established partnership with CC.

The UWindsor Cross-Border Institute (CBI) is internationally recognized for its leadership in cross-border research. The University of Windsor, with financial support from the federal government, was the first university in Canada to establish an institute dedicated to research on the movement of people, goods, services and finances across international borders.

Registration is now open for the Faculty of Human Kinetics’s Physically Empowered and Active Kids (PEAK) program, aimed at children aged eight to 12. 

PEAK is a free physical literacy initiative, focusing on building children’s fundamental motor skills, from running to throwing and catching. 

Ever wondered what people do with a science degree?

Let’s talk about it—while enjoying some food!

The Science Career Social: Eat, Meet & Network gives University of Windsor students a chance to explore careers in health, chemical and life sciences, as well as human kinetics, in a relaxed setting designed for conversation and connection.

Imagine preparing for an exam or job interview while worrying about where your next meal will come from.

For some Windsor Law students, this is a reality.

The Windsor Law Community Closet & Pantry, known as Windsor Cares, relies on donations from the campus community and local partners to remove these barriers and provide students with the essential support they need to succeed.
