On May 14, 2025, Cassidy Brooks, a Master of Science in Kinesiology student at Nipissing University, took to the stage in Toronto to represent the University at the Ontario Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Regional Competition. One of just 12 competitors from universities across the province, Brooks delivered a compelling research pitch to an audience of scholars, science communicators, and celebrity judges.
Dr. Glen Sharpe's connection with Nipissing University began serendipitously in the mid-90s when he stopped at the campus while driving from Thunder Bay to Bramalea, Ontario. Curious about the university, he entered the education office, where he was greeted with warmth and friendliness. That visit left a lasting impression, so when it came time to pursue a Master’s degree in Education, Nipissing was his first choice.
Nipissing University’s annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition took place on April 1, 2025, featuring graduate students presenting their research in a dynamic, three-minute format using a single slide. The event provided a platform for students to communicate their complex research to a broad audience, helping develop their skills in public speaking and research communication.
Nipissing University’s annual NU360 Speaker Night brought together students, faculty, and community members on March 4, 2025, at the NUSU Student Centre for an evening of inspiration and innovation. The event showcased outstanding faculty presenters who had just 360 seconds to share their expertise and insights on an array of topics.
This March, Nipissing University is proud to celebrate Research Month, highlighting faculty and student research across a wide range of disciplines, including STEM, humanities, and social sciences. Through a variety of engaging events, both the university community and the public will have the opportunity to explore innovative ideas, support emerging scholars, and recognize the value of research in shaping our world.
