University of Windsor

The University of Windsor is located at the crossroads of North America, and facing one of Canada’s most beautiful waterfronts on the Detroit River. University of Windsor is known as an internationally oriented, multi-disciplined institution that actively encourages a broad diversity of students, faculty and staff. Those strengths create an awareness and appreciation of difference about the university — difference in ethnic backgrounds, difference in cultures and difference in dreams.

UWIndsor was found in 1963, and opened its Medical Education Building, which houses the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry – Windsor Program. As well, with the help of $40 million in Ontario government funding, the University will construct a new 300,000-square-foot, $112-million Centre for Engineering Innovation, a structure that will establish revolutionary design standards across Canada and beyond. The buildings are two of the touchstones for our tagline, Thinking Forward.

The University of Windsor has more than 16,000 full-time graduate and undergraduate students as they assume responsibility for their future and that of the world around them. And it gives them the fullest opportunity, encouragement and help to meet the challenge, and more. The University of Windsor has graduated more than 80,000 alumni since its founding.
