Our Journey

From its humble beginnings in 1999 to the comprehensive academic bridge program it is today, the English Language Improvement Program (ELIP) has experienced remarkable growth and thousands of students have successfully progressed from ELIP into undergraduate and graduate programs at UWindsor and beyond. To mark this milestone, we invite you to learn more about the meaningful impact ELIP has had on our staff, students, and the broader community.
