A series of events on campus this week will celebrate the benefits of co-operative education and work-integrated learning opportunities for UWindsor students.

Timed to coincide with National Co-op Week, activities run daily through Saturday, March 24.

“This is an opportunity to showcase the employer partners the University of Windsor’s co-op office works with, while highlighting the opportunity for students to learn about work-integrated learning opportunities around them,” says business major Josh Nicholas, project leader for marketing and student engagement in the Office of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships.

Co-op Week events include:

• a cupcake kick-off at 11 a.m. Monday, March 19, in room 1100, Lambton Tower;
• a candy buffet with jelly bean-guessing contest, all day Tuesday, March 20, in room 1100, Lambton Tower;
