Important dates to remember are:
January 4, 2018 marked a historic moment for students, faculty and staff at UWindsor’s School of Creative Arts.
Over the last four years, the late-19th-century Romanesque structure in the city’s downtown core reverberated with the frenzied sounds of construction.
But on Thursday, the notes from students practising piano and lectures by professors in classrooms drifted up to fill the lofty Windsor Armouries.
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens honoured several members of the University of Windsor community last month.
Dilkens presented awards to 29 individuals and groups for making the city a better place during the Celebrating 2017 Mayor’s Awards.
The University, staff and students received five of the awards.
Graduate student Austin Roth received the mayor’s Award for Athletics and Recreation.
Dilkens said Roth had many nominations and was selected because he has been valued as a team player, mentor, coach and friend.
Nadia Azar enjoys concerts differently than you and me.
Packed into a music venue, swaying with the crowd, Dr. Azar narrows her focus on the musician at the back of the stage.
“What you’re supposed to be thinking about when you’re at a rock concert is what’s going on with the drummer’s back muscles, right?” Azar joked.
Azar, an Associate Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Windsor, has launched a study into the biomechanics and muscle activation patterns of drummers.
The University of Windsor was honoured by the Mayor of Windsor this week for its work in preserving historic buildings in the city’s downtown core.
President Alan Wildeman accepted the Celebrating 2017 Mayor’s Award Tuesday in honour of the city’s 125th anniversary.
"It was very nice to have the University of Windsor be recognized by the city for the efforts to preserve and reimagine historic locations," Dr. Wildeman said.
UWindsor’s Adapted Physical Exercise (APEX) Research Group in the Department of Kinesiology and Community Living Essex County kicked off the continuation of their exercise program on Wednesday.
The program, titled Fit Together, takes participants with autism spectrum disorder and an intellectual disability and trains them in two, 90-minute exercise sessions a week for 12 weeks.
Donato Mancini’s time at the University of Windsor provided him with something many writers yearn for — the opportunity to focus exclusively on his craft.
“That’s what everybody craves and wishes for,” the writer-in-residence said. “It’s why people take themselves off the grid and unplug for weeks at a time.
“The amount of progress you can make in a few really focused weeks is so much more than a whole year of working in fits and starts and in time off.”
