Isabelle Sauvé is a 2001 graduate of the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program at Nipissing University. Isabelle’s academic journey at Nipissing University was more than just a pursuit of a degree; it was a transformative period that ignited her passion for endurance sports and physical challenges.

Nipissing’s talented and knowledgeable group of researchers extends beyond its faculty members to include both undergraduate and graduate students. On Tuesday, March 26, Nipissing highlighted the prowess of its graduate students at its annual Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT®) in the Nipissing Theatre. This University-wide event challenges graduate students to present their research to a panel of non-specialist judges in an engaging, compelling way, in under three minutes.

March is Research Month at Nipissing University, and the community is invited to take part in a series of events throughout the month designed to celebrate the diverse research happening at the University and its impact locally, nationally, and internationally.
