There’s a new tipi on campus, a place for teaching, learning and community-gathering. On Friday, June 17, Nipissing will host a small celebration at the new tipi to mark National Aboriginal Day, including a cultural teaching shared by Cindy Hare followed by tea and bannock for everyone.

Dr. Cindy Peltier brings a passion for community health, teaching and learning and a strong connection to Nipissing University to her new role as the university’s Chair of Indigenous Education.

It’s a week of celebration, the beginning of a new chapter in life for graduates and a time to look back fondly on friends made, goals achieved lessons learned and amazing experiences enjoyed both in and out of the classroom.
