University of Northern British Columbia - UNBC Prince George formally established the university, on June 22, 1990. The university was established in response to a grass roots movement spearheaded by the Interior University Society. UNBC offered a limited number of courses in rented office space in 1992 and 1993 but was opened officially by Queen Elizabeth II, for full operation, in 1994 with the completion of the main Prince George campus after two years of construction.
The governance was modeled on the provincial University of Northern British Columbia - UNBC Prince George of Toronto Act of 1906 which established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a Senate (composed of members of the faculty), responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors (composed of members of the community) exercising exclusive control over financial policy and having formal authority in all other matters. The President, appointed by the board, was to provide a link between the two bodies and to perform institutional leadership. The current President is Dr. George Iwama, whose term as President began July 1, 2009.
