The Fall Convocation will include 13 sessions which will be streamed on the University’s website and will take place from Oct. 14 through 17. The webcasts will also be housed on the website.

Although the spring graduates have received their diplomas, their Convocation ceremonies were postponed because of the pandemic. Over the coming weeks, all members of the Class of 2020 will receive further information on the Fall Convocation ceremonies. Continue reading.
Alumni email upgrade
One of the benefits alumni receive is continued use of their @uwindsor.ca email. The University will begin upgrading from Gmail to Outlook in late 2020/early 2021 to bring alumni email onto the same platform used by faculty, staff and current students. Outlook offers enhanced email security for alumni, facilitates easier collaboration within the campus community and increases engagement opportunities.

In preparation for the transition alumni are asked to ensure their UWin Account password is in good standing by October 5, 2020. Click here for details.
