CORNERED ON CAMPUS

Hello and welcome back to school! Or, if this is your first year up on the hill, welcome to UNBC! As a member of our fine hill-top com-
munity you have a grand opportunity to experience many elements of life unique to UNBC, including amazing 360 degree vistas of the
mountains, frequent run-ins with the bear and moose populations, and (most importantly) the chance to be Cornered on Campus by Over
the Edge! Cornered on Campus is a great opportunity for students to voice their thoughts and feelings on issues and events that take place
around campus, in B.C., or around the world. For the first issues this year we have cornered the many folks, including staff and faculty,
who have spent their summer at the university working hard and eagerly awaiting the return of the student population. Each one of these
individuals plays an important role in life at UNBC, so do your best to seek them out! Once cornered, the question posed to these tireless

breadwinners was...

WITH THE FALL SEMESTER AND THE RETURN OF STUDENTS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING
FORWARD TO MOST THIS FALL...

“I’m excited for the
positive energy of stu-
dents and the momen-
tum that they bring to
university events and

projects!”

“I’m excited to meet
new students with
fresh ideas for how

to make UNBC more

sustainable. I feel
everyone has a role to
play in the greening
of our campus. There
always seems to be a lot
of energy on campus in
the fall, it’s an exciting
time!”

Danielle Smyth,
Sustainability Manager

“PG PIRG (Public
Interest Research
Group) is an exciting
place where new
students can learn
about what we’re doing
on the ground about
sustainability at UNBC.
Our doors are always
open for volunteers
to take part in the
compost program, the
university farmer’s
market, and the
sourcing of local food
through the Good Food
Box”

Sarah Boyd-Noel,

Executive Director of
P.G. PIRG

“T’m excited for the
new energy. Staff,
researchers, teachers...
we lack the zest that
new students bring. Not
just the new students,
but all returning
students too, they pass
on an energy . Young
students especially
are often idealists, and
working at PICS (Pacific
Institute for Climate
Solutions), you never
know who will walk in
the door with the next
big idea, the next big
solution”

Kyle Aben, Research
Manager at PICS
