2018 NU News

A new scholarship will be available starting in 2020 for upper year students majoring in Classical Studies at Nipissing thanks to a generous donation by a faculty member’s estate.

Recently a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous allied scholars, mentored graduate students, Elder-in-Residence, and community partners met in circle at Nipissing University to share knowledge, advice, and best practices for working with Indigenous communities in a good way.

Nipissing students consistently impress as leaders, in the classroom, on campus and in the community.  Recently the university celebrated 25 student leaders at the annual Dave Marshall Leadership Awards.  Over the coming months, NU News will introduce each student leader to the wider community with a short article discussing their accomplishments and activities. Today, we are pleased to profile Jessica McCutcheon, who is working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.

Nipissing’s Office of Indigenous Initiatives is inviting Indigenous students new to Nipissing University and Canadore College, as well as their children, parents, caregivers and family members, to a free family fun two-day tour of the campus and community. The event is an opportunity for Indigenous students to discover what the community has to offer and have fun with their family, while helping to prepare them for the newest chapter in their educational journey.
