What Lancers Are Saying

Ashad - Web & Digital Project Coordinator

Taking Computer Science at University of Windsor has allowed me to explore so many different fields and topics that now I have a much better idea of what I want to achieve in my future. From data structures to website design classes, I've gained useful knowledge in various areas thanks to the amazing faculty and meaningful friendships. Additionally, I've had the unique experience of taking on a co-op position at the University, which has helped me gain valuable connections and real-world experience with modern web development techniques in a fast-paced team and environment. Overall, the program has certainly paved a bright pathway for my future by preparing me for the ever advancing computer science industry.

Parmida - Student Ambassador

After the first day I started playing video games, I knew I wanted my future job to do something with them. I am now studying computer science and hopefully will be able to program games of my own soon. It took me years of researching in different fields before I knew what path I wanted to choose in life. Although I know the expectation of figuring life out and choosing your future job when you’re a teenager could be a confusing process, I would be glad to help you in this journey. Come find me at Head Start this summer to put any confusion to rest before attending the University of Windsor in the fall :)
