UNBC Highlights 2010 National Champions The UNBC men's basketball team scored UNBC's first national championship this year after going 17-1 during the season and capturing the provincial title as well. UNBC produced BC players of the year for both men's and women's basketball, a pair of academic all-Canadians, a coach of the year award, and the country's top individual honour – All-Canadian Across All Sports – won by Inderbir Singh Gill.

A Shrinking Footprint
January to April 2011
UNBC is actively implementing a $15 million bioenergy program at the Prince George campus that could give the core campus the smallest carbon footprint of any Canadian university by this time next year. The projects – a biomass gasification system and a wood pellet system – will reduce UNBC's dependence on fossil fuels by 85% and serve as a platform for applied research and education.

New Chancellor A native of Prince Rupert who went on to establish one of Canada's most successful technology companies is UNBC's fifth Chancellor. John MacDonald co-founded MacDonald Dettwiler and led the company until his retirement in the late 1990s. He is now the CEO of a BCbased solar company and is a champion of BC's potential leadership in renewable energy. The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the University and officially grants degrees at Convocation.
