The WURA Social Committee is planning a virtual (ZOOM) social titled “For the love of reading”on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, @ 2:00 pm. During the last year of restricted activity, many of us have found time to catch up or increase our reading of a wide variety of books – new and old. For this virtual “reading” social, we will have 6-7 individuals who will share with WURA members some of the fascinating stories they have been reading during these COVID times.
 
Also at this virtual social, Provost & Vice President, Academic, Dr. Douglas Kneale, will receive the Friend of WURA award.
 
Please join us. You will receive a link, which you can click on to join everyone on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, @ 2:00 pm. If you have any questions, please contact Jonathan Bayley at jbayley@uwindsor.ca
