Welcome to the University of Northern British Columbia and thank you for
visiting our website.
It is my pleasure and honour to greet you as
UNBC s fourth President.
I was drawn to UNBC by its commitment to
excellence and its strong sense of community. I admire all that has been
accomplished in the 15 years since it opened its doors on this stunning campus
in Prince George. With its comprehensive offering of academic and professional
programs in a small personal community, UNBC offers an unparalleled environment
in which to pursue your interests.
Students tell us that this is a
special place. In our short life we have risen to #2 in the Maclean s ranking
of primarily undergraduate universities in Canada. For two years in a row, the
National Post has named us one of Canada s Research Universities of the
Year. UNBC is a research-intensive university where you will be appreciated as
an individual. You will have many opportunities to get to know your professors
and instructors. We are here to share your successes and to support you in your
challenges.
We at UNBC also enjoy an incomparable natural setting, from
the lakes and forests near our homes to the splendid snow-capped mountains we
see from campus. My work experience in universities and governments across this
country has made it clear to me that UNBC is unique. Come and explore with us.
Come follow your passions or discover them and make life-long friends at this
extraordinary university.
George Iwama
President and
Vice-Chancellor
