From March 11 to March 14, the Odette School of Business will be hosting RoundTable 2010, the largest undergraduate business student conference in Canada.  Delegates from across the nation will flock to the Caesar's Windsor, including executives from the University's Commerce Society, to partake in a series of workshops aimed towards developing students into high performance student leaders.
The conference is chaired by third year Odette student André Capaldi, working along side five Odette colleagues and over 100 Odette volunteers.
The budget for this event is around $250,000 and therefore, council members attended a UWSA board meeting held on Feb. 9 in order to request funding of this event of behalf of UWSA, after funding was initially denied by the board. >>

UWindsor’s Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Association (AMSA) held an interfaith symposium on Thursday, Feb. 11 in the Ambassador Auditorium to answer the question of the purpose of life
Speakers representing Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Atheism spoke on the reason of existence to over 80 students there seeking guidance.
Dr. J. Norman King, professor emeritus, literature and cultures from the University of Windsor, represented Christianity by sharing his thoughts on the meaning of life and how people live.
“It’s not a problem of who we love and who we hate, but the problem of hatred itself.”
He also suggested people should give birth to life, and to destroy a person would be to take away their character.
Representing Judaism was Rabbi Jeffrey Ableser, an instructor of literature and cultures from the University of Windsor, suggesting the meaning of life is sacredness, as everyone is made in the image of God. >>

Winter driving takes only patience and care

Tame that snow on the road.
Thanks to good ol’ Wiarton Willie we'll be seeing six more weeks of Winter.
For the Canadian in our heart, we'll be jumping for joy and rolling in the snow. Snowmen, igloos, snowball fights, it’s all part of the fun.
We'll hop on a sled and wipe out at the bottom of Malden, just because we can.
It’s amazing isn't it, that the moment we get behind the wheel of our car, that in one second, the white stuff turns into an evil addition to the road.
For most people, it’s the worst time of the day.
Sliding in the snow, random drivers cutting you off, spraying slush all over your windshield, and for those on Huron Church, trucks obscuring your vision for a few seconds before you have the time to rapidly flick on the wipers.
Sure it can be unpleasant, but if you just take a few precautionary steps, in no time at all, you'll be enjoying your morning drive in the white fluffy stuff. >>
