Over the Edge - September 12

The UNBC athletics program had
a larger presence this year than t 5)
previous years. Nicknamed
"the muscle" by some, the
Timberwolves were a
welcome addition. Head
out and support the
Timberwolves at
their first home
game this Satur-
day. Way to go

It was raining for part of the day, but you
couldn't tell it from looking at the smiling faces
of volunteers. They were in great spirits and kept

up the welcoming atmosphere for new students
throughout.

"We've been doing this for 4 years, Marilyn and | had
the idea coming from eastern universities in Canada.
The first years we had a handful of people and look at
this year - we've got everybody out. It makes it more
pleasant because it is about helping the students but
also about us as a community. We meet each other,
having conversations like this, so it's a great day and I'm

_ thankful for the Brownridge company for putting on
_, the barbecue all day."

- George lwama, UNBC President

= dents coming back, getting ready for the
-» year. All of the volunteers that are here to

help them move in, it’s a real community. I’ve
talked to a numbers of parents, a number of
students who are really excited to be here for
the year, and they're really appreciative of the
volunteer effort of helping them move in... It’s
great to see the University coming back to life. It’s
a quiet place over the summer; the students are

the lifeblood of the university, and it’s great to see
them here.”

- John Turner, Board of Governors (not pictured)
