The Windsor Islamic Association has gifted $1.2 million to the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law to establish an endowment named after the Muslim Medical Association of Canada (MMAC) - Windsor Chapter, in recognition of the chapter's many contributions to the local community.
"This gift demonstrated our commitment to supporting academic excellence and advancing the university's mission in the areas of social justice and community building," said Dr. Osman Tarabain of the Windsor Islamic Association.

Windsor Law's mission is to educate ethical, justice-seeking lawyers through teaching, research, advocacy and service.
"From the social determinants of health to harm prevention, doctors and lawyers shared common goals," said Faculty of Law Dean Reem Bahdi.
"We were deeply grateful for this gift, which helped the faculty advance its justice-seeking mission."
