A cupcake giveaway Wednesday in the CAW Student Centre served its purpose of bringing attention to the University’s 50th anniversary, organizers say.
“We had a really nice turnout,” says chief communications officer Holly Ward. “It is important for us to make sure the campus community is aware of what we’re doing. We will be launching advertising soon, but the current students and employees are really a core part of the celebration.”
The 2013 spring season continues this weekend with five solo recitals by music students in their graduating or third years. Most of these events will be juried recitals performed for credit, but some students will perform purely for the experience. Each recital incorporates one hour of music, the repertoire representing a variety of styles and periods.
This weekend’s events include:
Behind every great elite athlete, there’s a team of researchers taking the guess work out of all their training and preparation.
Angelo Fallone figures he could have spent about 10 times as much on new machinery to help lower costs at his local produce packaging plant, but working with a team of UWindsor engineering researchers provided a far superior solution.
It was a surprise trip down memory lane for Janis (Marcotte) Cascadden (BA 1966), when she recently spotted on UWindsor’s Facebook page her 1963 self in a photo dedicated to the school’s upcoming 50th anniversary celebration.
New media works by UWindsor music instructor David Litke are on the program for in/fuse 16, Thursday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m. in Lambton Tower’s basement Studio A.

What began as a redesign of a particular fixture at a local cutting tools manufacturing shop quickly evolved into a complete overhaul of the plant’s layout in order to improve its efficiency. And it all happened thanks to a federal government program aimed at helping small businesses, and the know-how of a group of UWindsor engineering researchers.
There were a few times this past weekend when biology professor Oliver Love was watching presentations by fourth-year science students at Ontario Biology Day and could have sworn he was listening to graduate students.
“That’s how good they were,” he said. “I’ve never seen better presentations by undergrads.”
The campus community is invited to join the celebration as the Office of Public Affairs launches an awareness campaign this week to highlight the University's 50th anniversary celebration weekend coming in September.
