• 3,500+ international students from 150 countries worldwide.
• A world-class graduate school: 46 programs, 24 research centres, 20 specialized diplomas
• The only space engineering program in Canada.
• The largest Faculty of Arts in Canada.
• The Schulich School of Business is among the top business schools in the world.

In fall 2009, Canadas premier automotive development centre, the General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence, will open on the University UOIT campus as part of the largest and most comprehensive investment ever made in the Canadian automotive industry.

Among its many features, the building will have an environmental wind tunnel to test vehicles under various weather conditions and a four-post shaker system that can test a vehicles ability to handle a range of road conditions.

The centre will also include academic-scale equipment for teaching and research, as well as large-scale, industrial testing equipment for use by our students and faculty, as well as industry.

When a class of 24 medical students inaugurate the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry Windsor Program this September, David Dudok will be cheering them on.

A native of the city, Dudok is entering his fourth and final year at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario. He spent the last year in clinical training in Windsor through the Southwestern Ontario Medical Education Network and says that students who come to Windsor through the SWOMEN program have found the medical community and others to be welcoming and friendly.

Windsor medical students will be part of the well-established UWO Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, though they will study at a state-of-the-art medical education building on the UWindsor campus. Scheduled for completion this fall, it is connected to the Toldo Health Education Centre, which includes the Faculty of Nursing and new modern lecture theatres.

Development of the UOIT Centre for Cybercrime Research has brought together world-class researchers and other key individuals in the fight against cybercrime.

The centre will provide a platform for unparalleled research and cutting-edge solutions for critical issues in global law enforcement, including child exploitation and cyberbullying. In addition, the centre will develop research collaboration agreements with academics and experts from other Canadian and international universities, businesses and government agencies for the design of new and improved standards, structures, software and educational programs to battle cybercrime.

During the start-up phase, a number of existing UOIT facilities and laboratories will be used for cybercrime research projects, including the innovative Hacker Research, Gaming Development, Cisco Networking, Virtual Reality and Health Informatics labs.

The amount of trade and traffic flowing between Windsor and Detroit makes it one of the busiest border crossings in the world.

So its only natural that it would draw world-class scholars like William Anderson, recently named Ontario Research Policy Chair in Cross-Border Transportation Policy at the University of Windsor. In this role, Anderson will head UWindsors new Cross-Border Transportation Institute, overseeing its twin tasks of providing policy options and expert opinion to decision-makers and developing an interdisciplinary graduate program.

Windsor-Detroit is part of a massive regional industrial complex with an international border running through the middle of it and there are very few situations like that anywhere in the world, he says. Even in the European Union I dont think theres anything bigger than what we have here.

He says that UWindsors multidisciplinary research and high level of interaction among departments is one of its great strengths and he returns to that theme repeatedly, citing the Canadian-American Research Centre for Law and Policy, the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research and the Humanities Research Group.

Sylvia Barnard, President of Cambrian College and Dr. Robert Turner, President of Sheridan College in Oakville, signed an agreement on June 6, 2008 that will bring Sheridans Animation curriculum to the North.

Sheridans internationally renowned program will do much to further both Cambrians and Sudburys focus on the entertainment industries and will provide animators for the industrial and healthcare fields.

Veronica Turner, a Cambrian College student in the Chef Training program, cooked up a winning recipe to take first place at a culinary challenge that attracted entries from more than 100 budding young chefs across North America.

Turner prepared her winning dish of Fiddlehead Ravioli in a White Wine Cream Sauce. Fiddleheads were the required ingredient in this years recipe.

As the winner, Turner received many prizes and was recognized in numerous newspapers and food magazines.

The challenge took place on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at NorCliff Farms corporate headquarters in Port Colborne, Ontario.

Theres never been anything quite like it in Canada: the University of Waterloo is setting aside its smallest student residence to serve as an ideas incubator filled with entrepreneurially inclined students. Starting in September, the 72 students picked to live in the universitys Minota Hagey Residence will work together in Velocity to imagine the future of mobile communications, the web and new media.

One of the residence lounges will be turned into a corporate boardroom; another into a project lab and the main common area will double as a presentation and events area. Throughout the fall term, the dormcubator as one IT magazine dubbed it will host guest speakers, workshops and an end-of-term symposium where students can show off their work.

Students entering Velocity in fall 2008 come from upper years in engineering and mathematics faculties, but a handful come from other faculties, including arts and environment.

Cambrian Colleges newly-renovated $2.5 million Library and Learning Commons was officially opened April 24, 2008.

The expanded 20,375 square foot facility is the Colleges hub for information, study, research and out-of-classroom learning. It provides an environment where students can access traditional library resources, technologically advanced learning tools and both group and individual study spaces.

The renovated Library and Learning Commons features a number of benefits, including an open access computer lab, a wireless network environment, improved accessibility and improved study spaces.

Few things are more basic than food. And few things are more multi-faceted, says Steffanie Scott, a University of Waterloo professor in geography jointly appointed to environment and resource studies, who studies changing food systems in Vietnam.

All over the world, Scott says, agriculture and food production are in a state of massive and rapid change and this includes Vietnam, where land reforms in the 1980s changed the system from collective to individual farming.

The best way to manage change in the Vietnamese food system, Scott believes, will be to help efficient small-scale producers who are organized in co-operatives or farmer groups to network with traders, government and research institutes. Its also imperative, she says, to promote a fairer system of global trade.

Food production takes so many forms, from subsistence agriculture to ultra-modern industrial food supply chains. And it brings in so many issues social inequalities, rural transformation, health and the environment.
