Lancer women's hockey to celebrate International Students' Day

On Nov. 15, the International Students Centre and the Windsor Lancers will join forces to honour International Students' Day as women’s varsity hockey takes on the TMU Bold at the Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m.

With more than 4,000 international students from 95 countries, the University of Windsor is proud to foster diverse perspectives and cultures. These students contribute significantly to the global environment on campus, making it a richer place for all.

The celebration will include a special flag ceremony during intermission, when international students will take to the ice proudly waving their flags to represent their home countries. This event is a wonderful opportunity for fans to appreciate the diversity that makes the University of Windsor unique.

Mike Houston, director of the International Student Centre, said recognizing the University's international students is vital in highlighting the diverse UWindsor community.

"Providing unique and engaging opportunities for these students helps cultivate a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive," Houston said.

To make it easy for students to attend, a shuttle service will run to and from campus, with the two pickup times starting from Vanier Circle at 6:30 p.m. and returning students to campus after the game.

Fans can secure tickets online at goLancers.ca/tickets, while students can enter for free by either claiming their tickets online or showing their valid UWindsor student card at the ticket desk upon arrival.
