This Saturday, the Nipissing University Black Association for Student Expression (NUBASE) in partnership with Lakers Basketball will host the 2nd Annual With1VoiceNight: Shoot for Change Game at the R.J. Surtees Student Athletics Centre against 705 rivals, the Laurentian Voyageurs. Created by NUBASE Co-Founder and President, Taijon Eccleston-Graham, Shoot for Change raises funds for BIPOC student bursaries at Nipissing University and offers student-athletes a platform to advocate for marginalized communities. 

Tonight at 6 p.m., Nipissing University and Canadore College will welcome former Team Canada hockey goalie, Kendra Fisher, to campus for an inspiring talk about her personal mental health journey and the importance of connection. The event, part of Fisher’s North American post-secondary speaking tour, will take place in the Nipissing Theatre (F213, 100 College Drive, North Bay) and is open to the public.

Nipissing University has become a Knowledge & Development Partner of Bioenterprise Canada, known as Canada’s Food & Agri-Tech Engine. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organizations opens new doors into northern Ontario for the Engine’s national network and offers the Nipissing community, including agri-food and food-tech innovators, access to mentorship, partnership and funding support available through Bioenterprise Canada.
