Nuggets of Truth

By NAIT Nugget

Come for the puns, stay for the truth. Here we dig a little deeper to find out the nitty-gritty details about everyday things from our special guests. Each guest has nuggets of knowledge that aim to inform, inspire and invent new perspectives on different topics.
We aim to introduce the NAIT student body to the various programs and opportunities NAIT has to offer by speaking with different people from different programs. In doing this, we provide students with different perspectives and the tools to make an educated decision surrounding their careers.
