Today Lisa and I attended the Student Rally in Support of the Faculty of UNBC, which was held at noon in the public square outside the Prince George Courthouse.  Just before the event began, the rain stopped and the dark clouds overhead began to disperse; and as the student speakers addressed the gathered crowd, the sun shone. Listening to speeches delivered so brilliantly and eloquently in defense of our university, I felt so proud and fortunate to be a UNBC professor.  Our students are our raison d’etre; I’m deeply moved and inspired by their support. For more information on their initiative, visit them on Facebook at UNBC Students for FA.
