Introducing the new CSS Monthly Newsletter!


About 20 or 30 years ago, CSS had a Newsletter called the Wisdom (you can view it here). It was a way for students to write about things they found interesting, and for CSS to give updates.

We're very happy to announce that we've decided to embrace this old tradition and revamp the old newsletter idea, and create a new one! This newsletter will run monthly, and will include articles from CSS Board Members, and anyone else who has something they'd like to write about.

Feeling inspired? Check out the first issue of our newsletter here, and stay tuned for future articles!

Do you have something you'd like to write about? Feel free to email us at css@uwindsor.ca and we'd love to have you in our next issue!
