University of Windsor
Serving approximately 16,000 students, the University of Windsor has played a longstanding and critical role as a regional collaborative hub and partner in social and economic advancement. This engagement is a key driver of programming, teaching, learning, facilities planning, and research and creative activity at our University. Student engagement data consistently reflect high levels of community service and community-oriented service learning, relative to comparator universities, despite the fact that our students are more likely to have off-campus jobs, and to work more hours at those jobs. Community partnership has been, and remains, critical to our region’s resilience in changing economic and social conditions – to our collective capacity to learn, and to go on learning, with and from each other.
