Windsor Welcome Week is here, and we’ve got a great lineup of social and educational programming lined up for our students! The UWSA, in collaboration with the Educational Development Centre and a number of groups from across the campus community, will be hosting more than 100 events across a week-long span to highlight their theme: “There’s An Event For That!”. Here are a few key events for our students to attend:
On Labour Day, the UWSA is hosting the E3 Music Festival at the St. Denis Centre’s brand-new Entertainment Complex. The festival features 8 local bands and a national headliner, ALEXISONFIRE. The Basement Pub will be providing food and bar service on-site, and various community vendors will be there to peddle their wares. Upon entry to the Festival, the first 1000 through the gate will receive a reusable E3 cup, as well as a lanyard with a drop card that gives them access to free music from all participating artists. This Festival is also a Think Green, Keep It Clean initiative, and steps have been taken to ensure that our environmental footprint is reduced for such a large event. The event will run 3-11 pm and tickets are available at the UWSA Office (2nd Floor of the CAW) or online at www.uwsarocks.ca for $25.
We are also hosting our standard Pub nights – Toonie Toga Party on Tuesday, Legendary Pub Nights ft. 40 Oz of Freedom (Sublime Cover Band) – as well as a brand new event – the UWSA Rock, Paper & Scissors Tournament on Wednesday. Other great events include a trip to the Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles game at Comerica Park in Detroit on Friday, uWindsor Idol in the Commons on Friday, the UWSA Dating Game in the Commons on Thursday, and our annual Free Throw Competition on Thursday morning. Students will have the time of their lives over the next week, while meeting new friends and learning more about their campus and community. It’s going to be great!
