Nipissing researchers are helping to shine a light on the importance of inclusivity in research. This commitment was on display at the PARN Research Camp, held this past October at Brock University’s St. Catharines campus, where students, researchers, and allies gathered to explore inclusive and participatory research methods. This immersive, three-day event shared insights and skills to improve research practices focused on enhancing the quality of life for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families.

Whether it’s providing expert commentary, leading groundbreaking research, or making a difference in the community, our students, faculty, staff and alumni are making headlines.

As a student, receiving a DMLA reinforced Evan Gomes' confidence and highlighted Nipissing’s commitment to supporting students as whole individuals, both inside and outside the classroom. Today, as a Student Recruitment Officer at Nipissing, Evan channels those same values into his work. Whether encouraging students in leadership roles, or representing Nipissing on the road, he remains passionate about helping others grow.
