A visit from a member of the Royal family is a momentous and memorable occasion. Nipissing University was proud to welcome Her Royal Highness The Princess Edward, Countess of Wessex, to campus on September 19, for a speech about the importance of Aboriginal education.

Researchers in Nipissing’s Centre for Physical and Health Education are studying how physical activity can promote healthy living and solve health issues as diverse as lower back pain, improving quality of life for cancer patients, recovery from concussion and helping kids be more active. The research benefits students, as well as the community, and the university is pleased to welcome everyone to the grand opening of the Centre for Physical Health and Education, Friday, October 3, 2014 at 1:00 p.m.
