A reception today to honour staff, faculty and retiree donors to the 2012/13 Annual Giving Program will proceed rain or shine, says organizer Mona Dosen. A development officer, Dosen says the event is a chance to show appreciation for supporters of UWindsor fundraising efforts.

“All of our faculty and staff members make contributions to the student experience every day,” she says. “This event is in recognition of those who go beyond by donating to our scholarship funds, improvements to campus facilities and enriching the educational opportunities afforded to our students.”

Attendees will be entered in a draw to win a door prize of dedication rights to a commemorative bench on the UWindsor campus. Eligible donors have received an invitation through the mail.

The one-hour reception begins at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 6, in the Student Courtyard between Dillon and Memorial halls.
