More UNBC Courses

UNBC offers academic courses online and Continuing Studies courses locally.

www.unbc.ca/programs

Free CoursesUNBC recently offered free courses for Aboriginal, unemployed, and low income residents in Vanderhoof. The Business Development Assistants certificate program is part of the federally-financed Community Adjustment Fund. “Participants learned how to start their own business, expand an existing business, or work with other businesses and economic developers,” says Program Coordinator Titi Kunkel.

Cancer ResearchDustin King, a UNBC Biochemistry and Molecular Biology student from Burns Lake, won a Studentship from the BC Cancer Agency to conduct Molecular Biology research at UNBC this summer. King is investigating the way certain RNA molecules create conditions conducive to the spread of cancer in the body.

Carbon Footprint ReductionThe Stellat’en First Nation recently recruited UNBC environmental scientist Stephen Déry to help their community of Stellaquo, located west of Fraser Lake, reduce its carbon emissions. To do this, Dr. Déry borrowed a concept from the popular television series “The Biggest Loser,” but challenged the approximately 500 Stellat’en from the area to shed emissions and particulate, rather than excess weight.
