MBA students head west

PRINCE GEORGE – To celebrate a milestone with the 20th anniversary of UNBC’s Master of Business Administration program, this year’s first- and second-year students are hitting the road for their first week of classes. The students travelled to UNBC’s Northwest campus in Terrace, where they will be based for Foundation Week, where they spent the week participating in a number of educational and experiential activities in the region.

“Foundation Week is our opportunity to bring new students into the program, bring back our second-year students for the start of the second year, and integrate what they’ve learned and introduce everybody to some of the business issues that happened around the province,” explains Ron Camp, Dean of Business and Economics.

They toured significant economic sites such as the Kitsumkalum Saw Mill, Rock Quarry, and Logistics Park in Terrace, the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and Rio Tinto’s operations in Kitimat. For second-year student, Laura Mueller, this trip west has career significance.
