CONGRATULATIONS GRADS! 900 students graduated from UNBC this year, making history as the University’s largest graduating class ever. Convocation ceremonies took place in Prince George, Quesnel, Fort St. John, Fort St. James,Terrace, Gitwinksihlkw, and Prince Rupert.

A Graduation Highlight

Biochemistry students Kara Perdue and Laura Coleman of Quesnel, have won two of UNBC’s most prestigious scholarships. Kara received a UNBC Scholars award, presented to the top students of each northern BC high school. Laura obtained a President’s Scholar award for academic achievement and community involvement.

► It has become an annual tradition in Quesnel: local students and their families celebrating their success during Convocation. For Rose Higgins, graduation day at the Quesnel campus “was the best day of her life.” An exaggeration? Maybe, but not when you consider Rose’s story. She quit school in grade 6, was married at the age of 14, and had the first of two children at 15. She always planned to go back to school but when her husband had a stroke at the age of 30, she had to focus on taking care of him and the kids. It was UNBC’s new business leadership certificate that finally provided the opportunity she wanted, while also being relevant to her career as manager of the Barkerville campground. “Getting the certificate was the best experience I’ve had and I have a new love of learning,” says Rose. What’s next? She’s exploring her options, but it might be UNBC’s MBA program.

Research Centre Named The University’s Quesnel River Research Centre has been named in honour of UNBC’s founding Vice-President Research, a champion of the importance of connecting research to regional development. Dr. Max Blouw worked with the community of Likely and others in the region to have the former federal fisheries research station transferred to UNBC. The facility now supports research on fish ecology, the sustainability of river systems, and climate change. Dr. Blouw is currently the President of Wilfrid Laurier University.

UNBC Milestones: 2008/09 • UNBC achieved its highest ranking ever in the annual Maclean’s ranking of Canadian universities, placing second among 21 small universities. • UNBC started a $15 million bioenergy program that will reduce UNBC’s carbon footprint by up to 85% and serve as a platform for regional R&D.

• A national study resulted in UNBC being named a Research University of the Year. Over the past five years, no university in western Canada has seen a greater increase in research funding. Last year, UNBC topped the $100 million mark in research funding to date.
