“The reason we choose to support Nipissing University and create the Sparrow Experiential Learning Centre is because our dad and grandfather (Herb Sparrow), and our mom and grandmother (Tena Sparrow) were self-made entrepreneurs here in North Bay. Together they supported several business start-ups in Northern Ontario and have always felt that it was important to do their part to give back to the greater community.”
Pam Laycock, Granddaughter of the late Herb and Tena Sparrow

Sparrow Centre connects students, faculty, community

To help students find work-integrated learning opportunities – co-ops, field placements, internships, job shadowing and research projects – Nipissing University has launched the Sparrow Experiential Learning Centre. The centre helps students obtain course credit or paid work, customizing experiences right down to the individual.

With support from the Sparrow family, the centre connects students, faculty and members of the community in North Bay, particularly those in business and entrepreneurism, creating invaluable professional networks.
