UB Launches INsights

The University of Belize has launched their new INsights e-magazine.  In this first issue, they highlight UB's Environmental Research Institute, which is in its 5th year, and the tablet distribution.


"There are many good things happening at UB – but very few people get the opportunity to hear about them. INsights is a bi-monthly e-magazine.  Its content will showcase the positive things happening at the university in an effort to change the image of UB."


In related news, the ladies won the UB ralathon for the 4th year in a row.

Congratulations to the UB female relathon team!  They defeated the male team, and this is the 3rd year in a row.


"Females Win 36th Annual UB Relathon.  6 hours 29 minutes is the cumulative time that it took UB’s speedy females to reach the Engineering Department in Belize City, winning the 36th Annual UB Relathon on Sunday, March 30, 2014.  The females started in Belmopan at the Market Square, while the males began in front of the Police Station in San Ignacio but both embarked on their journey at 8:30 a.m.  The females ran with a singular goal in mind: 3-peat as champions.  Their effort paid off when they crossed the finish line at 2:59 p.m.  The males tried their best to win and closed the 20 mile handicap to only 3miles but fell short and finished 18 minutes later.
