“It requires vision, to be visionary”: UNBC professor encourages social responsibility in students

Students in Prince George and Northern Uganda continue to benefit from the experience, knowledge, and positive example set by UNBC professor Dr. Christopher Opio. Having presented to many students over the years, Opio says that in his experience, young people are motivated changemakers. “Young people have a lot of ideas. They want to contribute to society in any way that they can.”
