new year of UNBC is here and with it

brings new volumes of Over the Edge
just waiting to be written. There have been
plenty of changes here at Over the Edge
that have occurred between the end of last
year and the beginning of this year, and
we cannot be more excited about them.
Among the changes will be how we portray
ourselves on social media. We will still be
bringing you all the links to articles that
you have come to love and expect from us.
However, that is just the beginning. As the
new Multimedia Coordinator, I am here to
tell you all about them.

Our Facebook page will be making sure
your voices and opinions are heard through
thought-provoking questions. Over the

of more than 60 clubs, emergency food
and financial aid, as well as lockers,
student handbooks, and access to our

we will continue to challenge perceptions
and bring important news pieces to the
forefront. Any student-related subject,
such as events and information, can and
will be brought to students’ attention. As a
Twitter follower, expect articles, retweets
from big names, funny and relevant
information, shout outs, and event plugs.

We will also be reviving our Instagram
account! Photos around campus, in
the OTE office (6-350), around Prince
George, and at events will be posted.
On Instagram, followers will be able to
catch Over the Edge’s new mascot get
into all sorts of fun by keeping their
eyes out for #StickmanAdventures.

This year, UNBC and student life will be our
main focus as we closely follow campus and
