Also known as Charles Menzies. Gispuwada, Gitxaała. BC'er from Prince Rupert. Anthropologist by profession at UBC. My idea of volunteering is to be politically engaged. This is strictly my personal opinion. Not reviewed or approved by UBC.

Love the acronyms Edu-admins come up with. Take ORCA - the Political Correct name for killer whales (also called blackfish). 'Orcas' are top predators known for ganging up on frantic seals, fish, and just about anything else with a heart beat. That's what they call UBC's new testing system.
