UNBC wins top campus sustainability award
The University of Northern British Columbia has won a top campus sustainability award from the premier college/university green organization in North America. UNBC’s bioenergy project was recognized by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) for integrating operations with teaching and research, while serving as a model for other campuses and communities. UNBC shared the top award with Harvard University.
UNBC was presented the award in Denver in front of 2400 people at AASHE’s annual conference.
The award was celebrated today on campus in front of more than 200 people in the Canfor Winter Garden. Industry partners joined with government officials, UNBC founders, faculty, staff, and students.
