Each year, Nipissing University recognizes exceptional leaders through the Dave Marshall Leadership Awards (DMLA). Help us celebrate the leaders who are inspiring change on campus and beyond by nominating a deserving student by January 31, 2025. Annually, 25 full-time students are recognized with a Dave Marshall Leadership Award. These students have made an outstanding extracurricular contribution to their academic program, to the campus, or to the greater community. They have demonstrated leadership, initiative, commitment, and an ability to motivate and influence others toward the betterment of Nipissing University.

As we look ahead to 2025 with excitement and optimism, we invite you to reflect on the standout moments that defined 2024. This past year was filled with inspiring stories, remarkable achievements, and meaningful milestones showcasing our Lakers community's strength, innovation, and spirit. Join us in celebrating some of the top highlights of 2024 as we carry this momentum forward into the new year.

Whether it’s providing expert commentary, leading groundbreaking research, or making a difference in the community, our students, faculty, staff and alumni are making headlines.
