The TRU Students’ Union recognizes the oppression that women faced historically and the generational impacts that continue into today. With that in mind, we ask the campus community to reflect on the women they know who are jumping over hurdles to be in the spaces they hold. Those strides our Women of TRU are marking is to be celebrated. It is our hope that by highlighting the pivotal roles these women hold in our university community, it will be empowering for those that come afterwards.
Leading up to International Women’s Day, March 08, the Union annually recognizes seven exceptional Women that are part of the TRU Community. These women are nominated by the members of TRU and chosen for the ways in which they have inspired campus with their leadership, influence, and passions. Each year, we gather for a Celebratory Lunch, dedicated to give recognition to the seven Women of TRU and their chosen local organizations that will receive a donation from the the Union.
It is an honour for the Students’ Union to formally recognize, each year, the incredible women that we have here at TRU; and it is as equally honouring to be able to extend that recognition and appreciation our local Kamloops organizations.
If you have questions about the Women of TRU, please contact the Equity Coordinator.
