Supports available for TRU community as search continues for missing international student in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — As efforts to find a missing Thompson Rivers University student – who is presumed to have drowned – continue, the president of the Kamloops-based institution has reached out to members of the university community.
In an email sent Thursday (July 10) evening, a copy of which was forwarded to CFJC Today, Dr. Airini said there are a number of supports available to staff and students who may have been affected by Sunday’s (July 6) incident.
“Over the past several days, members of the TRU community have followed with concern the reports of a student who went missing in the Thompson River,” the email from Airini said. “We know that this kind of uncertainty can be overwhelming. Not knowing is a heavy burden to carry.”
“At times like this, we are reminded of the importance of supporting one another in the long and difficult wait for clarity. Please know that support is available to you. Whether you are feeling sadness, frustration, confusion, or simply don’t know what to feel, it’s okay to reach out.”
