A leading international figure in space science, technology, and renewable energy will be the University of Northern British Columbia's fifth chancellor.
John S. MacDonald, who was born and raised in Prince Rupert and went on to establish MacDonald Dettwiler, one of Canada's most successful companies was named to the post on Thursday and will be officially installed at the May 28 convocation ceremony.
The chancellor is the ceremonial head of the university and a primary duty is granting degrees at annual convocation ceremonies, but MacDonald hopes to make a contribution to UNBC in other ways.
