Nipissing receives $1M for student research, dementia support, Indigenous initiatives

Nipissing University has received $1M from The Peacock Family Foundation. This donation will be used to support undergraduate research fellowships, bolster Nipissing’s Rare Dementia Support Canada program, and further Indigenous initiatives and Reconciliation efforts. The latter will include the creation of a wampum belt as part of Nipissing’s strategic planning process, as well as coordinating reconciliation events on campus. “We are honoured to contribute to these important initiatives that will provide students and faculty with valuable opportunities to make a meaningful impact in communities across Canada,” said donors Adrienne and John Peacock.
