On Saturday, November 12, 2022, Lakers Break the Ice on Mental Health returns after a two-year hiatus. Proudly presented by TD, Lakers Break the Ice on Mental Health is teaming up with NU Listens, the North Bay Regional Health Centre Foundation and the Nipissing Lakers varsity hockey teams to raise funds and awareness for mental health and emotional wellness.

Nipissing University is pleased to partner in the delivery of a new program led by Queen’s University designed to address knowledge gaps in the growing neurotech sector, a field gaining increasing prominence with initiatives such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink and Meta (formerly Facebook) Reality Lab’s use of neural signals to enhance virtual reality applications.

Nipissing University lecturer and alumnus, Anna Pearson, has been awarded the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in recognition of her “remarkable achievements in education and a commitment to preparing students for a digital and innovation-based economy.”
