UNBC 2013/2014 Year in ReviewFrom faculty and student research awards to athletic and cultural milestones, it has been another busy and successful year at UNBC.

• UNBC’s Bioenergy Plant received Platinum certification in Leadership in Energy, and Environmental Design from the Canada Green Building Council. It became the first university building in the province and only the fourth in the country to garner the prestigious sustainability designation.

• In September, Lheidli T’enneh elders launched a traditional cottonwood dugout canoe in the Nechako River for the first time in about 60 years. The canoe was built by students as part of a First Nations Studies course at UNBC.

• UNBC student Mireille Rizkalla received a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship worth $50,000 a year for up to three years to continue her study of diseases associated with aging, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

• UNBC tied for third with the University of Lethbridge in the Maclean’s rankings of primarily undergraduate universities. Strong marks in the student awards, student/ faculty ratio, and research funding categories helped boost UNBC’s score.

• UNBC professors Brian Menounos and Natalia Loukacheva were named Canada Research Chairs. Dr. Menounos researches glacier change, while Dr. Loukacheva’s work focuses on Aboriginal governance and law.

• UNBC’s basketball and soccer teams moved from probationary to full members in the Canada West conference of Canadian Interuniversity Sport.
