MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am enjoying the most wonderful experience by participating in the
University’s outreach initiative, referred to by President Wildeman
as the “pride for a lifetime” tour. Meeting and visiting with alumni
across the country is most rewarding!
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to
the hundreds of alumni and friends whom we have met so far – for
your warm welcome and hospitality and for sharing with pride your
UWindsor stories.
Upcoming President’s Receptions will take place in the Niagara
Region, Toronto and Ottawa. Be sure to watch for details in future editions of the Alumni
eNews. If you’re not receiving this e-mail communication, subscribe today by contacting
As summer is here, we once again participated in the most ceremonial and important
event on campus – convocation – a chance to celebrate with graduating students, parents and
friends. It is a time of new beginnings as we welcome some 3,500 new members to the Alumni
Association family. We also celebrated a UWindsor milestone– our 100,000th graduate,
crossed the stage to receive their diploma!
On behalf of the Alumni Board of Directors, I would especially like to welcome new
Vice-President, Advancement, Jonathan Braniff. We look forward to working with him as he
concentrates his efforts on the best ways to serve students and faculties and help create the
kinds of spaces the University requires for the future.
Special congratulations to our 2011 CIS Championship Teams – the Men’s and Women’s
Track & Field and Women’s Basketball. Go Lancers!
Keep watching for news of the University’s 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013.
