Community. Conversation. Connection.

Learning at Thompson Rivers University goes far beyond the classroom. The personal connections that students form both on campus and in the Kamloops community are a big part of finding success during their studies as well as after graduation.

Our Breaking Bread project aims to connect 500 students with community leaders, one conversation at a time. We are inviting diverse community leaders with a range of expertise to come to campus and meet with small groups of students to build community, share perspectives, and foster connections. 

Each month we will facilitate a conversation with a local community leader on an important topic for one hour from 12pm-1pm with complementary lunch provided from a local caterer. By breaking bread together we can help to bring together the leaders of today and the leaders of tomorrow on campus and in the community.  

Throughout the year we will be updating the table below with a list of past and upcoming opportunities to share a conversation and meal with a community leader on a shared topic of interest. 

If you have an idea for a topic, know a great community leader we should connect with, or are interested in joining an upcoming conversation contact campaigns@trusu.ca. Please note that spots are limited.
