The first “President in Action” photo of Dr. Paula Burns showed her decked out in her regalia just before her installation as president, smiling with elected officials and colleagues. The photo below marks Dr. Burns’ last “President in Action,” this time showing her starting to remove some of the personal items from her office as she prepares for her move to Langara College in B.C., while visiting with community relations advisor and board liaison Kristen DeMone (left) and Provost and Vice President Academic Dr. Samantha Lenci. In between, these photos have captured Dr. Burns engaged in every aspect of the community – receiving a poppy on Remembrance Day, cheering at a Kodiaks game, celebrating at Convocation (including awarding her daughter a diploma), finishing the Kodiaks 10-4 Road Race, riding her beloved bicycle along a rural road during the pandemic and so much more. Her action in and commitment to the community will be missed, and the entire Wider Horizons team wishes her well.
