Graduate Carey Stewart, Principal of Nisaga’a Elementary Secondary School in New Aiyansh
Carey Stewart’s mantra, “never settle for less than your best,” has inspired him to obtain his MEd, after years as a mature student. Stewart is from the Nisga’a First Nation and one of two in his family to finish university. The accessibility of UNBC’s program offerings made that possible. Stewart is a principal from Nisga'a Elementary Secondary School (NESS) in New Aiyansh, the only secondary school in the Nass Valley, in the first independent aboriginal school district in Canada. “Many students ask what an MEd is,” shares Stewart. “I tell them it’s when you focus on an area of study you believe in. I hope to inspire them to pursue their dreams. Without UNBC, I would have struggled to achieve this goal.”
