As a relatively new CSLE member centre, NUCSLE held its first signature event on July 18, 2012 between the hours of 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the North Bay campus, Nipissing University. The 2012 event was well received by participants and their responses have influenced the planners to develop a somewhat larger and more ambitious event for In 2014 the NUCSLE signature event is being planned a little differently. In response to student and faculty feedback, it is scheduled earlier in the Summer Institute. This year s event will also be a half-day only in light of the related 19 th Annual Leadership & Values Conference being hosted by NUCSLE at Deerhurst, September 18-20,
