The NSS Foundation has a vision – of Northern grads reaching back to Northern to mentor, recognize student talent and drive an inspiring transmission of ideas and experiences.
In 2024 we co-sponsored the Northern STEM Panel featuring 12 NSS alumni in discussion. The panel list included students attending McGill, UofT and Waterloo; as well as Dr. Daniel Felsky, professor at John Hopkins University and a lead researcher at CAMH; Jill Murray, an infectious disease epidemiologist who has worked for WHO and Doctors without Borders; and Andreas Hitzler, an aerospace engineer who designed camera systems that flew on the NASA CLPS Lunar Lander, and now he is now collaborating with the Canadian Space Agency to develop science payloads to support NASA’s ARTEMIS missions to the Moon.
Recently the Foundation connected Northern art students with successful alumni in the art and design world. Alum came to Northern and took the time to inspire students, share professional insights and deepen student understanding of pathways to success.
The NSSF Instagram feed is full of incredibly impressive NSS alumni as well as shout outs to inspiring NSS students. A recent highlight: a number of alumni came together in 2022 to honour drama teacher Debbie Barton-Moore with a scholarship in her name – $1500 will now go, each year, to an NSS grad who has had a lasting impact on the drama dep't and who will continue in the dramatic arts.
