There’s a new tipi on campus, a place for teaching, learning and community-gathering. On Friday, June 17, Nipissing will host a small celebration at the new tipi to mark National Aboriginal Day, including a cultural teaching shared by Cindy Hare followed by tea and bannock for everyone.

Congratulations to Brian T. Thorn, instructor in the English department, on the publication of his book, From Left to Right: Maternalism and Women's Political Activism in Postwar Canada (UBC Press).

It’s a week of celebration, the beginning of a new chapter in life for graduates and a time to look back fondly on friends made, goals achieved lessons learned and amazing experiences enjoyed both in and out of the classroom.

Vander Dussen is an exceptional student, researcher, mentor and leader. She has acted as a volunteer teaching assistant, guest lecturer in multiple classes, and has been a mentor for teacher candidates for the last three years.

It’s that most wonderful time in the academic year, convocation, when students celebrate their achievements with peers, family and friends before embarking on the next chapter of their lives and their ongoing quest for education.
