Nipissing strutting its stuff at OUF

This week marks the Super Bowl of university recruitment in Ontario, as more than 120,000 students and parents visit the Ontario Universities' Fair to explore their options and Nipissing University is ready.Nipissing is sending a team of 51 passionate volunteers to work the weekend, spreading the word on what a fantastic place Nipissing is to live and study. The team is made up of 14 professors, 10 students, and 27 staffers representing recruiters, admissions and other key staff in various departments from financial aid, and education placements, to lab instructors and technology experts.
“Our strategy is built around the fact that Nipissing offers academic rigor in a welcoming and inclusive community, where students feel comfortable and are supported in order to reach their full potential,” said Gemma Victor, manager of student recruitment. “We’ve established a strong visual presence in our booth, thanks to our gorgeous campus, and we centre it all around the line ‘I belong at Nipissing U.’”

The fair takes place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. No registration is required and there is no fee to attend.
The free three-day event gives next year's university hopefuls all the information they need to make an informed decision about where to apply, with first-hand accounts about university programs and campus life from professors, staff and current students.
The opportunity to speak directly with university representatives at the same event sets the OUF apart from other educational fairs. Growing from 30,000 attendees when it was launched in 1997 to 121,000 last year, the OUF is one of the largest educational fairs in North America.
