New UNBC president Donald Cozzetto said he is “settling in quite nicely” in his second week in his new job.
Cozzetto took over on July 1, after former president professor Charles Jago retired. Jago served as president for 11 years.
Cozzetto said his first objective has been to get to know the university and Prince George.
“I’ve met with as many people as I can, both on campus and in the community,” he said. “I’ve been kind of captured by the enthusiasm. People here want UNBC to be successful. People here have a passion for the university.”
Groups from all sectors of the community have created a “synergy” of talent and commitment to UNBC’s success, he added.

Joseph Floyd turned Florida’s Crestview Police Department into a criminal enterprise, the judge said at his 2013 sentencing, but his willingness to break the rules didn’t start there.
New year, new neighbors. And those new neighbors are driving up the prices of homes.

Because of the 14-day quarantine period, the postponement includes FGCU’s Jan. 10 ESPNU game against Liberty. No rescheduled dates have been announced at this time.
The official ASUN opener for the Eagles will now be Jan. 16 and 17 at Bellarmine University, followed by the home opener against Lipscomb Jan. 23 and 24.
The women’s postponement follows the men’s, who announced Wednesday that their games against North Alabama and Liberty would also be postponed due to COVID-19. New dates for those games have not been set.
