Nipissing University’s local World University Service of Canada (WUSC) committee was recently honoured with the Local Committee of the Year award for their work with student refugee sponsorship and international development.

​Thanks to a new research project taking place out of Nipissing University, a group of boys at O’Gorman Intermediate Catholic School in Timmins are using iPads, the latest and coolest gadget on the market, to improve their literacy skills.

Dellandrea was recommended by the Chancellor selection committee, which considered and discussed nominations from the university community and other stakeholders. The Chancellor is the titular head of the university and confers all degrees to graduates at Convocation. Dellandrea was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Nipissing University in June 2010.
