The University of Windsor officially opened Moriarty Way, a named walkway leading to the Toldo Lancer Centre, in honour of Dr. Richard Moriarty — a trailblazing educator, researcher and builder of Canadian university sport whose connection to the institution spans more than seven decades.
The ceremony, held on Dr. Moriarty’s birthday, brought together members of the Moriarty family, university leadership, colleagues and members of the Lancer athletics community to celebrate a legacy rooted in fairness, mentorship and lifelong learning.
