Nipissing University novice women’s eight rowing crew gained an impressive fourth place last weekend at the competitive 2014 OUA development regatta, beating many established crews. Racing in sleek, 60 foot-long racing shells, crews of 8 rowers and a coxswain battled for supremacy in the most prestigious category in the sport of rowing.

Prospective students came from near and far to see if Nipissing University is right where they belong. Some of the highlights included visiting the state-of-the-art laboratory and classroom space that exists on campus.
