Student Appreciation Weekend offers UWindsor students a chance to celebrate, engage, and show their school spirit at varsity games Nov. 1 and 2.

Lancer athletics, in partnership with the Division of Student Affairs, promises thrilling matchups, giveaways, contests, and a shuttle service for Saturday’s men’s hockey game.

The excitement begins Friday evening at the Toldo Lancer Centre, where students can cheer on women’s volleyball as the team takes on Lakehead at 6 p.m., followed by men’s volleyball against Guelph at 8 p.m.

On Saturday, men’s hockey will face off against Queen’s at 7:30 p.m. at the Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex. To make it easy for students to attend, a shuttle service will run to and from campus, with two pickup times available: the bus will depart from Vanier Circle at 6:30 p.m. and return students to campus after the game.

Shetina Jones, associate vice-president of student affairs, emphasizes the value of events like Student Appreciation Weekend for building campus spirit.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for students to gather, engage with each other, and show their support for our Lancer teams,” Dr. Jones says. “The Division of Student Affairs is thrilled to support this initiative, providing students with exciting ways to connect on campus and cheer on our talented student-athletes.”

Admission is free for UWindsor students — simply claim your ticket online at goLancers.ca/tickets or show your valid UWindsor student card at the gates on game day.
