ÂÜÀòÉäÇø faculty Dr. Sheila Blackstock and Dr. Daniel Sims are stepping into the roles of Academic Co-Leads at the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health, as longtime Academic Lead Dr. Margo Greenwood moves on into her new role as Senator in the federal government.

Fourth-year Computer Science student Elizabeth Norman received an Instructor Recognition Award from Actua for her work with young people in northern B.C. through ÂÜÀòÉäÇø's Active Minds program.

Over the past five years, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø placed first among universities in its tier for the percentage of funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. ÂÜÀòÉäÇø received $7.7 million over the span, representing 12.6 per cent of ÂÜÀòÉäÇø's total research income.

An international team of scientists used a supercomputer at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø to calibrate their findings as they examine the impact of climate change on glaciers in Western Canada and around the world. Their work is the cover story in the latest issue of the journal Science.

From the installation of a new Chancellor and President, to award-winning students, faculty and staff, 2022 was an eventful year at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø!

ÂÜÀòÉäÇø is collaborating with the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club to create a lasting impact on young athletes arriving for next month's national Nordic event in Prince George, including offering a tuition credit for those interested in coming back to pursue their undergraduate studies.

The health authority and University have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding for the fourth time since 2010.

As meaningful collaboration begins with the launch of the University's strategic planning process, the ÂÜÀòÉäÇø story shared by the Koopmans family truly reflects the hopes of the University's original champions. The Koopmans siblings make up six of ÂÜÀòÉäÇø's 16,000-strong alumni. In joining with the Koopmans to celebrate their achievements, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø is seeking your voice to set goals and directions that will support the successes of future waves of community leaders.

As part of its strategic plan renewal, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø is seeking to gather input from individuals and communities across the north to help shape the University's path forward.
