2007-2009

The purpose of this project is to conduct community-based interviews in UNBC’s service region. Across community landscapes that are experiencing increasing pressures from social, demographic, economic, and political change, part of UNBC’s mandate has been to provide needed education and research services. This project is being undertaken at the request of UNBC’s Vice-President and Provost as part of an initiative to better connect UNBC’s activities with the needs of its service region. Two basic questions drive the interviews; “what do our communities need to know?” and “what would they like the university to do?”
