No part of UNBC has grown more over the past decade than its number of graduates. Six students became the University’s first alumni in 1994. At more than 8,300 today, UNBC grads now outnumber current students. Alumni include politicians, entrepreneurs, nurses, teachers, foresters, bankers, and community leaders of all types.   UNBC’s alumni are the University’s single-most important external constituency. As ambassadors, they are key to expanding UNBC’s profile around the world. As citizens, they are applying their UNBC education and experience to improving the social, economic, environmental, and cultural fabric of our communities.   Where UNBC Alumni Live* 08/09 09/10 Northern BC 50% 53% Southern BC and Vancouver Island 24% 21% Elsewhere 26% 26% * Source: BC University Student Outcomes 2006 Survey of 2004 Baccalaureate Graduates   UNBC Alumni 08/09 09/10 Total number of UNBC Alumni 7,600 8,361 New Alumni 898 823		Alumni Links Alumni Association Employment at UNBC Alumni Newsletter Programs & Courses   Did you Know?
