What began as research for a course assignment has led a newfound interest, as well as a noteworthy achievement and a summer learning adventure for UNBC Bachelor of Arts in History student Sean Robinson.

It was a season for learning new skills and sharing stories through art, as students gathered with Cree/Dakelh artist Clayton Gauthier for wood carving sessions through the winter months.

UNBC's Koh-Learning team reflected on their unique collaborative learning program centred around the waterways in the Nechako watershed during a Research Week special presentation.

When a Research Ambassador encouraged undergraduate student Ahmad Jalil to pursue his research interests by just reaching out to a professor in his field of interest, the Bachelor of Health Sciences student felt he might lack the skills required. His interest soon outweighed his hesitancy and he's recently submitted a manuscript for journal review based on his research with UNBC's Northern Analytical Laboratory Services.

Not only did the team captains generate enough interest for UNBC to send 10 teams to the 2023 JDC West Competition in January, but the delegation captured four trophies at the three-day event which attracts the top business students from across Western Canada.

UNBC PhD candidate Ben Pelto and his research team performed a multi-year evaluation of glaciers in the Columbia and Rocky Mountains. Their seasonal field measurement of winter snowfall and summer melt, complemented with aerial surveying, provide an accurate glimpse of glacier mass change. These estimates can be used to predict future glacier response to climate change.
