Residents of the Northwest region interested in the full range of programs at the University of Northern British Columbia are invited to attend a UNBC information session on Thursday, March 8th. The session will be held at UNBC's regional campus (4741 Park Avenue) in Terrace and will begin at 6pm.

UNBC President Charles Jago will lead the UNBC delegation, which will include local students and alumni, faculty, and academic advisors.

"This is the time when many high school or college students are putting in applications for university, so we want to have a local session to give information and answer questions," says UNBC Liaison Officer Steve Raper. According to statistics from the fall semester, UNBC has more than 70 students from Terrace and more than 30 from Kitimat.

UNBC is also planning to hold an information session specifically for local residents who are interested in the University's master's degree program in Education. That information session will be the evening of March 12th and will also be held at UNBC Terrace campus.
