Information sessions Wednesday, Oct. 9, will provide information on the Innovative Designs for Accessibility (IDeA) student competition, which solicits innovative, practical, and cost-effective solutions to address accessibility issues which affect persons with disabilities.

The Office of Human Rights, Equity and Accessibility sponsors the annual UWindsor competition, giving students valuable, hands-on learning experiences and expanding the accessibility culture on campus and beyond.

All UWindsor students are eligible to enter alone or as a group. Ideas created and developed as a part of course work may also be entered. All entrants will participate in making a pitch to the judging panel explaining their ideas and how they would eliminate a barrier to accessibility for a chance to win prizes up to $500 in UWinCASH.

The competition is open until Jan. 31, 2025. More information about the competition and past entries can be found at www.uwindsor.ca/ohrea/idea-competition.

Today’s info sessions will be conducted online:
