Message from the President to the
UNBC Student Newspaper
‘Inaugural Edition
October 1994

Congratulations to the Editor and
Staff of the UNBC student newspaper,
‘Over The Edge’, on your inaugural
edition.

As the first student group to enjoy
UNBC’s initial year of full
operations and the newly-opened
Prince George campus, historically,
you will be regarded as_ pioneers.
Because of this, everyone will take
great interest in your experience
here and how you perform as
university students. This
university’s style and reputation
will be affected by the choices you
make and the standards you set --
both academically and in your social
relationships with each other. Ina
very real sense, you have an
opportunity to make a difference to
student life at UNBC.

When I think back on my own student
years, I have fond memories of those

experiences and what they came to
mean to me later on. I wish for each
of you the same sense of enjoyment
and great personal satisfaction as
you work towards accomplishing your
career goals.

This message is also an opportunity
to communicate my sincere wish to be
informed about your education and
involvement at UNBC. While it is
nice to be told about what we are
doing right, I am also interested to
know students’ opinions and ideas
about what might be changed or made
better. I expect to hear from you.

At the end of your studies, I hope
you. will be able to say you were
intellectually challenged, inspired,

and stimulated. Then, you will know
that it has all been worthwhile.

With my best wishes,

Geoffrey R. Weller

President
