UNBC 2013Year in ReviewUNBC has had another fruitful year full of faculty, student, and research success.

• UNBC Forestry Professor Kathy Lewis was named Academic of the Year by the Confederation of University Faculty Associations of BC – the second UNBC professor in a row to receive the honour after Dr. Chris Opio received the distinction last year.

• UNBC‘s Dezene Huber, who was part of the inter-university effort which attracted international headlines this year by successfully decoding the genome of the mountain pine beetle.

• UNBC’s soccer and basketball teams played their first-ever matches in the Canada West conference of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), the highest level of amateur sport in the country.

• UNBC Environmental Engineering student Stephanie Doherty was awarded one of only ten 3M National Student Fellowships this year after two UNBC students took home the honour last year in the Award’s inaugural year. Only days before, Doherty was part of the UNBC engineering team that took home a top prize at the national Canadian Engineering Competition in Ottawa.

• UNBC tied its highest position ever in Maclean’s Magazine’s annual university rankings, placing second in the primarily undergraduate category, and retaining its spot as “best in the west” for the eighth straight year.

New Dean of CASHS

Blanca Schorcht was recently named UNBC’s new Dean of the College of Arts, Social, and Health Sciences. Dr. Schorcht was previously Regional Chair of UNBC’s South Central Campus in Quesnel.
