We want everyone to be able to come to beautiful Kamloops and TRU, and get an education here in the different programs we offer, obviously there’s certain areas of the world that are more prevelent coming to TRU than others, but we’re striving to make more and more partnerships with other universities to bring more and more people from different areas to TRU, and really increase the diversification of the students here on campus,” says Jen Pallett, International Days Event Coordinator.
