Looking back at a great night under the lights from this past weekend. 💙💛

Alumni Week brought Lancers together for an evening of football, school spirit and familiar faces as Lancer Football took on the York Lions, coming away with a 51–2 win! 🏈

It was a great evening to reconnect, cheer on the Lancers and celebrate the Lancer community.

Here are a few moments from the evening!

POV: your mom’s 2005 grad dress becomes your 2026 full-circle moment. 👗🎓💛

Twenty-one years ago, Nadine Manroe-Wakerell (BA, Hons ’05) crossed the University of Windsor convocation stage as a young mother.

This spring, her daughter, Gabrielle (BSc ’26), followed in her footsteps and graduated as a Lancer, with her mom, Nadine, there to greet her as a member of the UWindsor Board of Governors.

But that wasn’t the only full-circle moment. Gabrielle was wearing the very same dress her mom wore to her graduation 21 years earlier. 🥹

Different generation. Same dress. Same Lancer pride.

Then. Now. Always a Lancer. 💙💛

🧡 Orange Shirt Day - Every Child Matters 🧡

Today, we gathered on the traditional territory of the Ojibwa, Odawa, and Potawatomi Peoples to remember the children who never returned home, honour residential school Survivors, and recognize the lasting impacts on families and communities.

On Turtle Island Walk, we started at The Big Turtle, a powerful artwork on campus by Teresa Altiman of Walpole Island First Nation. Turtle Island is part of a creation story of North America and is a key part of Anishinaabe tradition.

Truth and reconciliation is an ongoing journey, one that calls on each of us to listen, learn, reflect and take action. 🧡
