The University fêted top graduates Ian Stecher and Layale Bazzi during its Convocation ceremonies last week.
Carefully tucked away in Layale Bazzi’s academic portfolio sits a certificate she received in Grade 11.
This certificate, while not her most notable accomplishment, represents a moment that forever influenced her academic career.
“When I first saw the University of Windsor’s department of physics in all its glory and met some of the students in the physics club at the time, it was like a whole new world opened up to me,” Bazzi said on Tuesday.
A group of students will present their investigation into the status of women in science at UWindsor at the UWill Discover research conference.
Students in a new science internship course earn academic credit while gaining real-world experience.
Disciplines in the humanities provide a frame for her to understand the implications of her work in sciences, says Layale Bazzi. The second-year physics student took top honours in the “Why Humanities” competition for her impassioned defense of their importance.
“Day in and day out, I am differentiating, integrating, rearranging and solving equations that describe the physical world around us,” she wrote. “What I can’t tell you are the ethical implications. All I can provide are facts about nature, and not human nature.”
