The first day of the academic year kicked off as usual for
new and returning students: books were bought and sold,
classrooms were found, coffee consumed, tuition finally paid.
However, this year CBC's Daybreak joined students and staff
during the early morning hours of the first day of the academic
calendar. Host Betsy Trumpener was on location in the UNBC

Wintergarden to catch all of the action. Students and faculty
were interviewed allowing listeners across the north join in the
excitement of a new year at UNBC. The broadcast first began at
6 am in UNBC’ regional campus in Prince Rupert. Host Leisha
Grebinski highlighted stories about education and research
from across northern B.C. In the Prince George campus, the

first 200 students to arrive in the Wintergarden for the 7am
broadcast were treated to a pancake breakfast courtesy of the
CBC. UNBC President George Ilwama was also interviewed in a
session featuring questioned posed by students and the public.
Free CBC and UNBC giveaways were also reported by some lucky
students.
