Dozens of residence students hit the streets of Windsor last weekend, collecting 3,400 pounds of non-perishable goods to stock local food banks.
“It’s not acceptable that many people are faced with not knowing where or how they are going to eat each day,” said residence life coordinator Lynn Charron, one of the organizers of the day of action sponsored by the Higher Education Reaching Out (HERO) Project.
“With food banks not being able to keep up with the demand, it’s time that we reached out and gave our neighbours a helping hand.”
After giving out more than 1,000 pieces of candy, plus bottled water and literature, organizers of Friday’s “I Clover Sober” event pronounced themselves satisfied with the effort.
“A lot of the students are really enjoying the tips we are giving them,” said Donja Trivers, a residence assistant – academic in Laurier Hall. “We are getting a good response.”
The annual campaign encourages students to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day responsibly. The holiday is often an occasion for alcohol abuse.
“We’re reminding them to know their limits – and stay within them,” Trivers said.
Several campus projects are using the occasion of St. Patrick’s Day to send a message – you don’t have to drink to excess to have a good time.
“St. Patrick’s Day is the biggest drinking day of the year for university students,” says Catherine Joyce, who works with Campus Police as student alcohol education coordinator. “It’s a nice target for us to get to them before the event.”
She organized an information fair in the CAW Student Centre Thursday, with booths on a variety of topics related to alcohol awareness.
Sapphire Wood knows the value of student engagement.
In addition to working as a resident assistant in Electa Hall, the fourth-year women’s studies major belongs to the Outstanding Scholars program, serves as teaching assistant, and participates in the alumni phonathon.
“Being involved in so many things on campus keeps me interested and motivated in my studies,” said Wood.
Working on the Residence Life staff offers students an opportunity to build their leadership skills, enhance their university experiences and secure free living accommodations on campus, says manager Sandra Davis.
Applications are open until Friday, January 13, for the 2012/13 school year for these positions:
The UWindsor entry in Saturday’s Santa Claus parade will offer a Scrooge-eye view, says organizer Sandra Davis. The residence life manager says the float reflects the event’s theme, “A Dickens Christmas.”
“Our spectacular entry depicts Scrooge’s view on Christmas morning,” she says. “As he throws open the shutters, he looks across the town square to see people frolicking in traditional festive activities.”
Volunteers from residence and the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance will skate around a Christmas tree, build a snowman, or join in carolling.
With a theme of “Making our Mark!” a delegation from UWindsor residence took home several major awards from the Great Lakes Affiliates of College and University Residence Halls conference this past weekend – including the right to host the event next year.
“This is the first time in 20 years that this conference has travelled to Canada and the first time ever hosted at the University of Windsor,” said Jacqueline Mellish, residence life coordinator for Macdonald and Electa halls.
Readers who can’t get enough DailyNews stories about the amazing research being conducted by UWindsor faculty and students will soon be able to hear more about them over the airwaves.
Students in Windsor who pay for a little extra help with their studies should get an immense amount of satisfaction when they hear about how Trudy Cronkhite put their hard-earned money to use this summer.~
