Melissa Machado, Class of 2015

Hey everyone! School is in session once again and we are extremely excited to be back in Windsor and to get back into the swing of things. We had a lot of momentous things happen last year, including the graduation of our Charter Class. I'd like to thank all of the faculty, community members, physicians, and health care professionals who taught us and contributed to our education last year. We are fortunate to be in a city where members of the community go out of their way to help us be successful with our future careers. Each one of us is looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

Welcome to the Class of 2016 to Windsor - and congratulations on your acceptance to Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. You are an extremely enthusiastic and vivacious group of individuals and I expect you will contribute to our community in a very positive way.

As for the returning students, everyone is just getting settled and adjusting to being back in school. We hope that this year we can have even more outreach into the Windsor community, further strengthening our relationship further and demonstrating how much we care.

We are currently working on new initiatives and events for this coming year. Please feel free to contact me if you are working on an initiative and believe that opportunities exist to positively enhance the educational experience of students. You can email me at mmachado2015@meds.uwo.ca.
