Message from the Director
First of all, I’d like to wish everyone a very happy new year, even though today is the last day of January already.  

We are excited to kick this year off with some great news. 

I am honoured to receive the 2021 Minister’s Award of Excellence in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities last week. This award is truly a validation of the University of Windsor and EPICentre’s contribution in cultivating innovation and entrepreneurship in our region. This is also a reflection of the dedication and hard work that my team had put in throughout the years.  

EPICentre is pleased to receive funding from the U.S. Consulate General in Toronto to launch the Entrepreneurship SpeakHER Series. Running over two semesters, this speaker series hopes to inspire and empower post-secondary students, particularly female students, to discover opportunities within the realm of entrepreneurship. We look forward to strengthening the ties between the United States and Canada to form a close-knit entrepreneurial network for women. The first session was just held last Friday.   

We are also excited to have Clay LeBlanc, a first-year Bachelor of Fine Arts student joining the EPICentre team as Digital Creation Student Assistant this semester. Clay will be helping us create captivating digital contents to enhance our marketing efforts.  

Lots of exciting programs and activities are coming this year. Please stay connected with us so. We also hope to be able to see you in person soon!
