Lecture Series Fills Seats At UNBC
PRINCE GEORGE – The Douglas Little Memorial Lecture Series is an annual event that fills UNBC’s Canfor Theatre. These lectures are a free opportunity for students to gain new knowledge on forestry and ecosystems.
Back in 1996, the UNBC Faculty of Natural Resources and Environmental Studies started the Lecture Series. The event is named after the late J.D. Little, a former executive with Northwood Pulp and Timber Limited and founding supporter of UNBC.
Assistant Professor of the Geography Program, Dr Joseph Shae says it’s nice to link the primary research going on in BC to the local community.
“I think that it’s really nice to have these open general lectures that the public can come to, people can see what kind of research is going on at UNBC but often we bring in distinguished lecturers that are from outside the university.”
