Peter Way has spent more than 17 years researching, thinking and writing abount an 18th century war that took less than half that time to fight, so receiving an award that acknowledges his painstaking efforts seems more than fitting.

The LeBel Building’s SOVA Projects Gallery is hosting an exhibition by senior students pursuing degrees combining visual arts with a major in another discipline.

“As a result, the works in this student art exhibition explores a wide range of topics and interests,” says the show’s curator, student Kacie Auffret.

Exhibiting students, all of whom are due to graduate this spring, include: Jude Abu Zaineh, Nicole Beno, Erika Duchene, Claudiu-Sebatian Herta, Sarah Robbins, Tayler Morencie, Nikko Ocampo, Rosina Riccardo, Erik Matos, Ashley Washburn-Hayden and Ainslee Winter.

Ashley Paterson clearly remembers the first day of one of her classes when all of the students had to say a little about themselves. A boy in the class introduced himself, noted that he was from the Middle East, and added the caveat “And I’m not a terrorist.”

“That’s an example that really highlights the importance of identity,” said Paterson, a PhD student in psychology. “You could see how he was struggling with his cultural identity in a society that so often discriminates against people.”

A first-place finish at the Wilson Moot, this past weekend at the Federal Court facility in Toronto, is a significant accomplishment for the University of Windsor, says law professor Donna Marie Eansor.

Eansor, the faculty supervisor and coach, invites the campus community to join her in congratulating team members Daniel DiFonso, Shaun Hashim, Heather MacIvor and Justin Reid.

Besides a first overall team standing, the Windsor contingent tied for second place for best facta and MacIvor received the top oralist prize.
