Of 76 teams entered in a 100-km hike along trails south of
Georgian Bay, only 29 completed the task intact,
including a
four-person team with three members of the UWindsor staff.
“By all accounts, this was the toughest Trailwalker to have
been done in Ontario,” says Chris Busch, who joined Barb Gormley
and fellow staffers Richard Taylor and Richard Hayes on the
hike July 13 to 15, a fundraiser for the international development
agency Oxfam.
Their team, dubbed “Barbie and the Barbarians,” finished 19th
among those that completed the course, and raised 95 per cent of
its $5,000 goal. In total, participants raised more than $310,000 in
support of Oxfam.
“It’s truly an inspirational achievement and a great example of
our staff making a impact on our community both domestically and
internationally,” Busch says.
And even though the walk is over, the work isn’t, he adds.
Any supporters wishing to make a donation may do so online
through the team’s sponsorship page:

UWindsor goes Google for
student email
The University of Windsor is partnering with Google to
provide the University’s 16,000 students with the use of
Google Apps for Education.
This will include Gmail to manage
UWindsor student email accounts. The goal is to provide students
with access to more technology and services, delivered at a lower
cost to the University.
Students will retain their @uwindsor.ca address and receive 250
times more disk space than before. They will have access to such
new services as calendaring, Google talk, Google Drive and Google
Docs. There will be no advertising or data mining by Google.
“Our new service provides users with more than 25 gigabytes of
storage space, compared to 100 MBs in the current system,” says
Sean Moriarty, acting executive director of Information Technology
Services. “In addition, students gain access to other services,
including calendaring, chat functions, and the Google Docs suite of
products. UWinGmail uses Google’s familiar Web interface, so it also
improves ease-of-use and comfort for students.”
