High school students from all over BC will be on campus at TRU next week for TRU’s mid-March Spring Break Experience, which includes an in-depth look at university life at the Discover the Difference Spring Break Conference for High School Students on Friday, March 17.

“I’d like to emphasize that the day isn’t just for students who have firmly committed to coming to TRU after graduation. This experience will give any student and/or parent a good overview of campus life,” said TRU Public Relations Director Josh Keller.

“If students aren’t sure what they want to do after they graduate from high school, or know they’re headed for post-secondary, but aren’t sure what program to take, or what programs TRU offers, they should visit TRU any day during Spring Break, Monday, March 13th to Friday, March 17th, and find out what we have to offer,” said TRU liaison coordinator Angela Trudeau.

Trudeau has also organized a tour programme so that anyone can drop in for a guided 90-minute tour, held Monday to Thursday at 10:00 am, 2:00 pm or 6:00 pm, or at 10:00 am, 2:00 pm or 3:30 pm on Friday. Those wanting a tour are invited to assemble at the Clock Tower building 2nd floor foyer five minutes before the scheduled tour time.
