Three student-athletes and one coach will be representing the Nipissing Lakers, as well as their country, on an international stage as the 2013 Winter Universiade begins in Italy.

On November 27, 2013 students in Dr. Stephen Connor’s third-year history course, Indochina at War, 1940-1975, had an opportunity to speak with a witness to history, Major Hoi B. Tran. Speaking from his home in California, Major Tran engaged with Nipissing students and answered questions for over an hour, recalling his own personal story of life and conflict in Vietnam.
