What's Happening in Arts & Science

Nipissing University has been awarded a $100,000 grant from Grand Challenges Canada to help improve maternal, newborn and child health among South Sudanese Refugees and their host communities in Uganda. Dr. Odwa Atari, associate professor of geography, is the project lead on the grant-winning project.

A group of Biology students from Nipissing University recently got the chance to spend 10 days in western Newfoundland studying the impact of moose foraging behaviour on the ability of forests to naturally regenerate following disturbance.

Like it or not, conflicts arise.  Over time, we will all be faced with countless conflicts, some minor, some violently charged, others emotionally charged.  Sometimes conflict can be beneficial. How we work to resolve conflicts for a greater good is vital to a positive future.  Nipissing University is pleased to host a special lecture and workshop by Dr. Evan Hoffman on conflict resolution this weekend.
