Congratulations to Dr. Jonathan Pitt, a part-time instructor within the Schulich School of Education's Aboriginal Education Programs and a former assistant professor of Education, on being named to the Elementary Teacher's Federation of Ontario's First Nations, Métis and Inuit curriculum consulting team.

Nipissing’s Office of Aboriginal Initiatives recently hosted Debwendizon, an Aboriginal youth education gathering, which saw aboriginal students from six local high schools come to campus to learn more about the university and what sets NU apart.

Hearty congratulations to Dr. Glen Sharpe, associate professor in the Schulich School of Education on two recent accomplishments: he has been appointed to First Nations Technical Institutes Board of Directors on his home reserve, the Mohawks of the Bay Of Quinte in Deseronto, Ontario, and he is the recipient of an Aboriginal Circle of Educators Education (ACE) Award.
