This year’s Board of Directors Orientation took a very different format, but had no less enthusiasm for getting down to work for students! Next week board members will begin the planning process for the work they will undertake in the coming year. #mytru #thompsonriversuniversity

It's hard to say goodbye. This last year we had a dedicated group of students serving on our Board of Directors and standing committees who really stepped up to the unique challenge that COVID-19 created on campus. Our organization doesn't work without this group and we are so thankful for their service.⠀

As we end the winter semester we need to say a big thank you to all of the members of the Student Caucus who served on TRU Committees this year. We are disappointed that we couldn't host our year-end meeting and wrap up in person, but we hope to see many of you back on campus and serving students on university committees again in the fall! #mytru #thompsonriversuniversity #studentcaucus

"Silvia goes above and beyond by advocating for st

"Silvia goes above and beyond by advocating for students outside of the classroom as well. She is always open to listening to the challenges that students are facing, further exploring these challenges with students, and consistently supporting and guiding them to address the issue and/or taking action on their behalf. She is dedicated to creating a university environment in which students have equity and fairness, and are actively involved with their own meaningful learning. Silvia is passionate about what she is teaching and about her philosophies on teaching, and she encourages students' to follow their own passions when it comes to learning and assignments. She encourages critical thinking, self-reflection, and university/community involvement and engagement, and is always there to help support these processes when needed. Silvia has been the most impactful professor I have had, through her insightful sharing of knowledge and through her modelling of the principles she teaches about. Silvia has had an overall profound positive impact on me as a student and as a person, and is an example of the type of social work professional I hope to become; therefore, I believe she is fully deserving of this Teaching Award."⠀

"As an SL Leader for psychology, Devon supports st

"As an SL Leader for psychology, Devon supports students in PSYC 1100, a first-year introductory Arts course that can be extremely challenging for students new to a post-secondary environment. Devon spends a lot of time organizing weekly study sessions and exam reviews that not only helps students understand the content, but also helps students learn how to study through collaboration and session organization. These sessions consider a strategic approach to learning that focuses on collaboration and gradual scaffolding to academic autonomy, where students are not looking to professors or Leaders for answers but can think critically and find solutions themselves. Devon also works as a Peer Academic Coach who provides one-on-one sessions with struggling students to provide individualized strategies and resources to manage time, set goals, study effectively, give presentations, take notes and tests, and deal with test anxiety. In this role, Devon is also able to connect students to other student services like STSS courses, Counselling, Accessibility Services, the Writing Centre, or the Math Help Centre."⠀
