Nipissing University proudly honoured five distinguished alumni during its annual Alumni Awards celebration. The event, held at The Grande Event Centre in North Bay, recognized the exceptional achievements of alumni who have made significant contributions to their professions, communities, and the University. Hosted by the Nipissing University Alumni Advisory Board (NUAAB), the awards spanned categories of influence, achievement, rising talent, philanthropy, and honorary recognition.

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.

Reflecting on his time at Nipissing, Elliot shares how his choice to pursue a degree in art was not merely an academic decision, but a commitment to honouring his passion for creativity. A proud alumnus of Nipissing University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program, Elliot’s journey from student to professional artist highlights the transformative power of an education in the arts.
