PRINCE GEORGE — UNBC President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Dr. Geoff Payne has been named to U SPORTS Board of Directors by Canada West.
The university says that Payne was elected by “a peer group consisting of presidents from across Canada West’s 17 member institutions.” and will take over “from Dr. David Docherty, President and Vice-Chancellor at Brandon University, who recently completed his two-year term.”
“UNBC is proud to be part of the U SPORTS community, and I’m honoured to take on this role as a representative for Canada West,” says Dr. Payne. “Our athletes, coaches, and staff demonstrate that excellence isn’t limited by size or location. It’s driven by passion, commitment, and opportunity. Representing northern British Columbia at the national level is a responsibility I take seriously, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the country to strengthen the future of university sport together.”
The U SPORTS Board of Directors is comprised of nine members, including one presidential representative from each U SPORTS member conference.
