What Lancers Are Saying
Engaging in various campus club activities relating to my major was the greatest asset towards improving my resumé. From being able to network with United Nations leaders from all over the world, as well as becoming a well-rounded candidate for job applications, I can confidently say that getting involved with University of Windsor campus clubs could be every students’ peak of their educational career.

My experience in the sociology and criminology program at the University of Windsor has been one filled with learning and anticipation of what is to come.... I am eager to absorb more information and learn why my area of study has such an impactful and profound presence in Canada, not to mention internationally.
