Introduction to Nursing Knowledge
Support Students, Celebrate the North 2009 is UNBC’s 15th anniversary and the University has produced a wall calendar to celebrate and raise money for scholarships. The calendar features stunning photos of the northern BC landscape, illustrating the close relationship between UNBC and northern British Columbia. Available for $20, the calendars can be purchased at UNBC’s Terrace campus, the Terrace visitor info centre, or by calling (250) 960-5750.
Linking the North A new project to link northern communities through technology is gaining momentum. The first of five courses in a new Mental Health and Addictions Certificate was offered through video-conferencing from Prince George to students in Terrace, Quesnel, and Fort St. John. The course was full at all four sites. In response to the growing demands for courses throughout the region, the University is implementing highdefinition video-conferencing and expanding the local course options.
UNBC Highlights The 2007-08 academic year saw UNBC reach new milestones: • The fall enrolment of 3,750 was the highest in UNBC’s history. • Maclean’s ranked UNBC the best small university in western Canada and fourth nationwide for the third straight year.
Course availability is subject to change.
