Graduates at Nipissing University’s School of Nursing continue to excel, with the newly released 2024 Nursing Registration Exams Report from the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) once again highlighting Nipissing as a top-performing institution in the province. The report shows that 96% of Nipissing's nursing graduates passed their registration exams on their first attempt, a result that surpasses the provincial average and affirms the program’s reputation for excellence.

This year, a new tradition was born at Nipissing University’s Convocation—one that celebrates compassion, empathy, and the quiet, powerful work of building a better world.

Nipissing University is pleased to announce that Dr. Graydon Raymer has been appointed Dean of the Faculty of Education and Professional Studies for a five-year term, following a successful term as Interim Dean.
