Nipissing University is proud to celebrate the academic achievements of its graduates with the President’s Gold Medal and the Governor General Silver Medal. Throughout the course of the convocation ceremonies, a total of 14 students will be presented with one of these awards for academic excellence and outstanding performance.

Convocation is a powerful attractant, bringing students back to campus to celebrate their accomplishments with peers and family. The trip to campus is a bit different for Michelle Johnson-Greaux, who travelled the 3,580 km from her home on the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean Sea to receive her Bachelor of Commerce degree (BComm) from Nipissing.
