Alpha Phi Sigma

In March 2011, Nipissing’s Criminal Justice program had the honour of becoming the first Canadian Chapter of the American National Criminal Justice Honor Society (ANCJHS), which recognizes academic excellence of undergraduate students of Criminal Justice, as well as Juris Doctorate students. The goals are to honour and promote academic excellence, community service, educational leadership, and unity. In the United States, there are now over 360 chapters. Nipissing’s chapter, Mu Kappa, strives to promote the goals of the ANCJHS through community service in conjunction with local Criminal Justice agencies. Nipissing students who have completed three Criminal Justice courses with an average over 75% will be invited to join Mu Kappa.

The Criminal Justice Student Association

The Criminal Justice Student Association is student run organization that provides Nipissing University Criminal Justice students with a forum for the discussion of criminal justice issues, as well as opportunities to learn about careers available to them upon graduation, within the CJ system and beyond. The CJSA also helps to foster collegiality among criminal justice students in order to enhance their student experience within the classroom, as well as their overall social experience while attending Nipissing University. To connect and learn more about what is going on with the CJSA, Like us on Facebook!

Community Leadership Placement

The Community Leadership Placement is a non-paid work experience in an approved community setting that complements course work, previous experience, and future goals. The placement is founded on a model of community-based learning as an instrument of experiential education. It is an engaging opportunity for students to combine active learning with current community concerns. The community collaboration allows all to take advantage of each group’s strength so student learning is enriched and organizational objectives are met. You have the power to provide real-life experience that connects today’s students to their community and to inspire them to become tomorrow’s leaders.

Field Practicum

In the professional years you will complete 900 hours in the social work field and work in a variety of settings within the Nipissing and Parry Sound Districts. Throughout the field practicum you will obtain supervised experiential learning that integrates theoretical knowledge with practice, develop practice skills, learn to think critically and reflectively, complete research, and review and apply policy to practice.

Research: Rare Dementia Support

Between 5% and 15% of people living with a dementia receive a diagnosis of a rare or young-onset dementia (before the age of 65). A rare dementia diagnosis brings with it a set of unique and complex challenges, yet there is a widespread lack of understanding and a shortage of dedicated resources to support people affected by rare dementias. At Nipissing, we are working in partnership with colleagues in University College London who run Rare Dementia Support, a UK based service working to support people affected by five rare dementia conditions.
