The University of Windsor’s main campus has a bold new look following the installation of seven giant building banners that feature the images of current students and the University’s PROMISE@uwindsor.ca outreach.
President Alan Wildeman announced PROMISE@uwindsor.ca in his recent update to the campus community. Dr. Wildeman said that after consulting students, faculty, staff, alumni and others, what emerged was a “desire to more visibly highlight students as we promote the university.”
Wildeman said the goal of PROMISE@uwindsor.ca is to leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that the University of Windsor is a place for students, and a place that believes in the power of knowledge to make a better world.
“Our belief is that we all have within us the promise to be someone better, the promise to show that we are more capable than we or others might believe, the promise to contribute to making the world we live in a better place,” said Wildeman.
The banners—ranging in size from 7 x 11 metres to 13 x 7 metres—have been mounted on Erie Hall, Toldo Health Education Centre, Biology Building, Essex Hall, CAW Student Centre, Ron W. Ianni Faculty of Law Building and Leddy Library.
