The annual reception to thank employee donors to the University is always a wonderful occasion, says campaign chair Dr. Bruce Tucker, Associate Vice-President, Academic.

“This is an opportunity for us to show appreciation to all the faculty and staff who have contributed and made the campaign such a huge success. We really hope that everyone will come out. It is so upbeat when so many people who are passionate about the University and supporting our students come out to celebrate.”

This year’s theme, Paving the Way for UWindsor Students, reflects the campaign’s continuous campus beautification efforts and recognizes donations received to promote student's overall university experience, says Development Officer Mona Dosen.

The faculty, staff and retiree campaign has raised more than $1.3 million over the past five years, to support student scholarships, as well as faculty and departmental priority projects across campus, she says.

The outdoor reception is set to take place Thursday, June 4, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., adjacent to the Stewart Moore Garden between Dillon and Memorial hall.

Donors will have received e-mail invitations to the reception and are asked to RSVP mona@uwindsor.ca or phone 519-253-3000, ext. 4279. If you made a donation between May 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015 and did not receive your invitation, please contact Mona.
