UNBC in the Northeast A New President Even before he was officially on the job, UNBC’s new president visited the Northeast region. George Iwama attended the convocation ceremony in Fort St. John as part of a 3200km tour of northern BC. He is interested in strengthening relationships between the University and the region and plans to be a frequent visitor. Dr. Iwama comes to UNBC from Carleton University and is a specialist in zoology.
A New North In May, Dawson Creek hosted nearly 70 municipal leaders from across northern BC in a workshop aimed at increasing research on the particular needs and opportunities of the North. The event was the first regional consultation for the New North Foundation, a concept focused on connecting communities and industry to researchers. A feasibility study is currently underway. See www.unbc.ca/new_north for more info. www.unbc.ca
