NORTHERN LIGHTS COLLEGE

Northern Lights College (NLC) is an educational institution that serves the residents of Northern British Columbia, providing post-secondary education and training opportunities. NLC operates campuses and access centers in eight communities across the northern third of British Columbia, with its Regional Administration based on the Dawson Creek campus.

As of 2021, NLC had a diverse student body, with international students comprising 25% of the total student headcount and Indigenous students making up 20% of the student population. The college has established a working agreement with the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC).

The president of Northern Lights College is Todd Bondaroff, who leads the institution in its commitment to providing quality education and training to students in the region.

In terms of its history, Jim Kassen served as the college president from 1980 to 2005, overseeing a period of significant expansion that saw NLC grow beyond the Dawson Creek campus to include five additional campuses and three access centers. This expansion has allowed the college to better serve the educational needs of the Northern British Columbia communities it reaches.
