Whether it’s providing expert commentary, leading groundbreaking research, or making a difference in the community, our students, faculty, staff and alumni are making headlines.

Nipissing University invites the community to lace up their running shoes in support of the Lakers Nordic Ski Team by participating in the Conquer the Escarpment Shelby Dickey Memorial Fun Run/Walk on Sunday, October 27, at 11 a.m. The event, hosted by Nipissing University, honours the memory of Nipissing alumnus Shelby Dickey, a Bachelor of Physical Health Education and Master of Science in Kinesiology graduate.

The patient later expressed heartfelt gratitude in an email to Nipissing University, sharing that Marco Tanuyan’s intervention was the reason they survived the heart attack. "His CPR technique kept me alive after my heart stopped thrice and required paddles twice," the patient wrote. "Thanks to his skills and quick thinking, I’m now back with my family and undergoing rehabilitation."
