Join us on June 11 for an unforgettable evening in support of student scholarships, awards, and bursaries.


Hosted by Nipissing University Chancellor and former CBC broadcaster Dr. Scott Russell, the evening will feature an insightful conversation with Olympic champion Beckie Scott—the first Canadian to win an Olympic medal in cross-country skiing. They'll be joined by Paralympic nordic skier and future Laker, Madison Mullin, and her guide, Lakers nordic skier, Brooke Ailey.


Together, they'll offer inspiring insights from their Olympic journeys and reflect on how those experiences have shaped their lives beyond sport.


The evening will also include live music from The Jesse Thomas Band.
