Lamorea has been a strong student voice standing up for the well-being of her peers in various capacities. She passionately speaks at senate meetings and on the Nipissing University Student Union (NUSU) Executive. She is also a strong contributor in Andrew Weeks’ neuroscience lab. Elected as NUSU President for 2017-18, she will continue to serve students and Nipissing University.

Dr. Mark Wachowiak, associate professor in computer science and mathematics, is the kind of person who is always ready to lend a hand, especially if it involves interdisciplinary computational science. The recipient of the 2017 Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Research is involved in many interdisciplinary, multi-institution collaborative research projects, as a team lead and co-researcher, both within, and external to, Nipissing University.

The number of students planning to attend Nipissing University in September has increased by 7.6 percent compared to last June, well above the provincial increase of 1 percent, according to data released by the Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC).
