Even though our history is relatively short, NOSM’s unique distributed, community-engaged learning model—started in Northern Ontario, for Northern Ontario—has grown into something extraordinary. Our many feats—a positive influence on recruitment and retention, educating high-quality physicians and health professionals, the innovative use of technology, and our long list of national and international awards—have created a global reputation that has only been possible because of the contributions of so many. We are not only succeeding together; we are leading together, as you will read throughout the pages of NOSM’s 2013 Community Report. -

From Local Innovation to Global Excellence: Proposal for a French-Language University in Ontario Report of the French-Language University Planning Board – June 30, 2017 June 30, 2017 The Honourable Deb Matthews Minister for Advanced Education and Skills Development Dear Minister, On December 13, 2016, the Planning Board for a French-language University had the pleasure of welcoming you and the Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs at its very first meeting. You confirmed that this project was very important to the government and that the inclusion of a requirement to “identify governance models by and for francophones” in the Board’s terms of reference was not an empty gesture. You asked the Board to be innovative and strategic, and to suggest potential affiliations and partnerships with universities not only in Ontario, but also in Canada and around the world. In other words, you placed your trust in us. Today, June 30, 2017, we deliver this report with much pride after having completed our task under a very tight timeline. -

Vickie's Vantage
LAURENTIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI & FRIENDS SUMMER 2009 vickie’s VANTAGE Recession impressions from the class of CEOs There’s something about Barrie DRIVING CREATIVITY, INNOVATION, AND PROSPERITY To say that I am appreciative of the contributions and generosity of Laurentian University’s donors is an understatement. The financial assistance I have received throughout my time as a student at Laurentian has been invaluable. It has given me not only financial stability, but has allowed me to focus on my academic studies, which are my greatest passion in life. Acting as the student spokesperson at the Next 50 Campaign internal launch event in January wasn’t just a chance to get a little air time or to hear myself speak aloud (which, if you ask my teachers, is what I like best). Instead, it was a chance for me to thank the many caring people who are directly responsible for the success of numerous students through their generous contributions to scholarships and bursaries. Speaking at the Next 50 Campaign event in January also allowed me to urge the Laurentian community to become involved by continuing to support the internal campaign. It didn’t take long to see results. Success stories and the involvement of faculty and staff were evident everywhere on campus. The faculty in my very own department began contributing to the campaign by creat- ing a travel grant for future students. When the final tally for the 2008/2009 in- ternal component of the Next 50 Campaign was announced at the beginning of April, I was truly impressed, as were many oth- ers. -
