A pair of researchers and a graduate student at Nipissing University have earned $137,500 in grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) for work that contributes to a better understanding of our forests, provides tools for optimizing nanotechnology applications, and studies nitrogen application for field crops.

The malware attack at UCalgary involved a form of cybercrime known as ransomware. Ransomware is the use of software to encrypt or scramble all kinds of files, rendering them inaccessible without a special key, which criminals attempt to sell back to the victim.

Staff members at Nipissing take pride is going the extra mile when helping students; it’s an approach that breathes truth into the One Student at a Time slogan. Leah Symington, Coordinator in the Fine and Performing Arts Department, is upping the ante.
