KAMLOOPS – For the first time, TRU graduates will have a prom-of sorts.

Student Shital Parekh and a group of imminent grads are organizing a graduation celebration, featuring dinner, live entertainment, dancing and a cash bar.

“Graduation Celebration is a semi-formal event for all grads from all faculties to celebrate their achievements while studying at TRU and is meant to be a final university party,” said Parekh.

“This is a great opportunity for students to feel a part of the university and to bring their friends and family along with them to celebrate their graduation,” she said, explaining “the chosen date is before the official convocation ceremonies on June 8 and 9 and will build excitement for the special commemoration.”

The celebration, to be held in TRU”s Independent Centre on June 7th from 5:30pm to midnight, is sponsored by Thirsty Thursdays, TRU Alumni Association, TRU Foundation, CMA and TRU ACE.

Tickets are $30, available at Bookies and the TRUSU desk.
