At Nipissing University, we celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of Black students, staff, and faculty members in academic and campus life and their tireless advocacy and activism, whether individually or through collectives such as the Nipissing University Black Association for Student Expression (NUBASE) and the Caucus of Racialized Persons (CRP), towards issues of anti-racism, equity, and discrimination on our campus both past and present, difficult work that is sometimes performed within a context of trauma that is inflicted through racist actions and systemic injustices.  

Do you know an outstanding Nipissing University student leader deserving of recognition? Nominations for the 2022 Dave Marshall Leadership Awards are officially open. Until January 31, 2022, faculty members, alumni, students and community members are encouraged to nominate individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in one of three categories: Academic, Campus or Community.

As the holiday break inches closer and 2021 draws to a close, on behalf of Nipissing University I wanted to extend warm wishes to you and yours for a safe and relaxing holiday season. Sincerely, Kevin B. Wamsley
