The Spring 2012 edition of VIEW, the University of Windsor’s alumni magazine, is now available online by visiting www.uwindsor.ca/view. New for the online issue of VIEW is the addition of short videos that accompany selected stories. Look for the triangular “play” button to zoom in and watch the story unfold.

This issue features UWindsor’s new, first-year student support services that are offered as part of the strategic priority of providing an exceptional undergraduate experience. Discover how students like Olivia Greenhow are finding direction through courses and programs that are designed to help with the challenging transition from high school to university.

Executive editor Holly Ward promises that readers will also get to know an alumnus who made his dream come true by becoming Canada’s top weather geek, and a student who bravely travelled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to help rebuild a community.

“We also celebrate the remarkable achievement of the first class to graduate from the Windsor program of the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry,” says Ward, the University’s chief communications officer.

She invites staff, faculty, students and alumni to be proud ambassadors of the University of Windsor by forwarding this link to family and friends, helping to spread all the exciting news happening on campus.
