Today, Nipissing University celebrated the contributions of 25 outstanding student leaders at its annual Dave Marshall Leadership Awards ceremony.

Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing made a virtual announcement today, of the Ontario government’s investment of $4M for Canadore College and Nipissing University. This funding will help provide a modern and safe learning environment for students, faculty and staff, both virtually and on campus.

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.
