Fund to support students in need as a result of pandemic

The Office of the President and the Alumni and Advancement Department have launched a fundraising appeal to support University of Windsor students experiencing financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

The Student Relief Fund will support their immediate needs during this very challenging time, says UWindsor president Robert Gordon.

“Many of our students are and will continue to face enormous financial challenges for the foreseeable future as a result of the pandemic,” he says. “They are now dealing with the uncertainty of summer employment and internships, a reduction or loss of part-time work, and many are experiencing financial hardships as family members also deal with job loss.”

He invites those wanting to help to make a donation to the fund.
