The Windsor Symphony Orchestra invites the campus community to a free mini-concert from 1:50 to 2:30 p.m. Friday, November 13, in the second floor Heritage Room of Assumption Hall.

Maestro Robert Franz will conduct the orchestra through selections from its program “Haydn in Paris,” part of the Classics in the County series. The full concert can be heard in two performances this weekend: Saturday in Leamington and Sunday in Tecumseh.

Audience members are reminded to enter through the Freed-Orman Centre on the north side of Assumption Hall. It is the only entrance available to the public.

If the mini-concert doesn’t satisfy your craving for live music on Friday afternoon, head over to the Music Building’s room 139 for the SoCA Fridays Live student recital at a special time, 2:30 p.m.

A research showcase November 17 in the Centre for Engineering Innovation’s Industrial Courtyard will offer a chance to learn about the latest developments in the design, control and testing of electric vehicle motors.

The University of Windsor’s Centre for Automotive Research and Green Energy (CHARGE) lab will host, along with D&V Electronics, a manufacturer of testing systems.
The program will run 3 to 6 p.m. Attendees will also be able to connect with UWindsor researchers to leverage their expertise, to learn about their new research facilities and infrastructure, and to establish collaborative partnerships.

To register, contact Gaya Sivakumar by November 12 at gsivakum@uwindsor.ca or 519-253-3000, ext. 3959.

Hundreds of students, faculty, and staff gathered in front of Memorial Hall on Wednesday to pay tribute to Canadian soldiers who fought and fell in the cause of freedom.

Acting students Aine Donnelly and Megan Milette joined professor Lionel Walsh to read letters from archives of the Canadian wartime experience.

The service also included an address by UWindsor president Alan Wildeman, a recitation of the poem In Flanders Fields by drama professor Brian Taylor, playing of The Last Post and Reveille, by trumpet student Amanda Hanson, the University Singers performing O Canada, and concluded with the laying of a wreath below the commemorative plaque in Memorial Hall.
