Students in a women’s studies course will collect menstrual products Monday for donation to the Womxn’s Centre.
A panel discussion June 23 will consider allyship for change across racialized groups.

Heirloom seeds from traditional varieties of plants have advantages for the organic production of food, says Rita Haase.
“Because these are the varieties that have always grown here, they are better adapted to the environment,” says the women’s studies instructor, one of the organizers of the Campus Community Garden Project.
The University’s campus community garden project is a way to close a gap between the campus community and the surrounding neighbourhoods, says its founder.
Rita Haase, a sessional instructor in women’s studies, helped to get the garden—located on California Avenue behind the education building— running in the spring of 2010. She said its 200 volunteers encompass UWindsor students and employees as well as about 30 members of the broader community.
“If we share the food and love of gardening, it can bring people together,” she says.
