UNBC President Dr. Geoff Payne to serve second term

A founding faculty member of the UBC Northern Medical Program at UNBC when he joined the University community in 2004, and in February 2020 was appointed interim President during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Under Geoff’s astute leadership, thoughtful guidance and commitment to fostering inclusive relationships, UNBC has entered a period of stability, transparency and open communications,” says UNBC Board of Governors Chair Joel McKay. “The University is well-positioned to drive forward initiatives and develop partnerships that will further enhance UNBC’s reputation for excellence as one of Canada’s best small research-intensive universities.”

“When we sought input from inside and outside the University community on your hopes for the future of UNBC, you told us we need to be ready. We are – we’re dedicated and passionate about providing student experiences that will ignite, inspire and lead change,” says Dr. Geoff Payne. “We will capitalize on opportunities and partnerships to leverage UNBC’s strengths and expand our academic and research reach, cultivating local solutions with global impact.”
