About Brook Doseger
Brook Doseger came to Nipissing University in 2010 as a student in the Schulich School of Education Concurrent Education Program. Her creativity and enthusiastic personality quickly established her as a promising educator. Brook was a natural leader who was highly regarded by her peers, often serving as the voice of her class. Locally, Brook volunteered for, and sat on the executive council for Best Buddies, a community organization pairing students with intellectual needs with a community member. Brook combined her passion for education with her desire to travel the world. Tragically, Brook lost her life as she began her teaching career in Kuwait.
