Chef’s Package Giveaway

Post-secondary education is more expensive than ever. Between tuition, textbooks, and the rising cost of living, many students face difficult choices when it comes to stretching their budget. At TRUSU, we believe that no student should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from while working toward their education.
That’s why we’re helping make healthy, home-cooked meals more accessible through our Chef’s Package Program. Once a month, TRUSU provides free chef’s packages filled with ingredients to prepare a nutritious and delicious meal at home.
Join us on the second Wednesday of every month starting at 10:00 a.m. inside the TRUSU Building, where the TRUSU Services Committee will be handing out free chef’s packages to TRU students.
Supplies are limited and packages are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to stop by early to pick up yours.
Happy cooking—and bon appétit!

Amnesty Urgent Actions Outreach
2027-04-08 12:00 - 15:00 | International Building, 905 University Dr, Kamloops, BC, V2C0C8, Canada
Every day, people around the world face violations of their internationally protected human rights simply for speaking out, defending their communities, or exercising their fundamental freedoms. While these situations can feel overwhelming, there are meaningful ways to take action.
The TRUSU Amnesty Urgent Actions Program is one of those ways.
Through this initiative, the TRUSU Equity Committee responds to 26 urgent human rights cases identified by Amnesty International by writing advocacy letters every 2 weeks to governments and decision-makers around the world. These letters call for immediate action to protect individuals at risk and uphold internationally recognized human rights. Together with millions of people participating in Amnesty International’s global movement, these collective actions have helped secure justice, protection, and freedom for countless individuals.
Come see the work we’ve been doing
Visit the Equity Committee at our Amnesty Urgent Action outreach table to learn about the human rights cases we’ve responded to throughout the Winter 2027 semester. Explore the letters we’ve written, discover the stories behind each case, learn about successful outcomes from past urgent actions, and speak with committee members about why these issues matter.
We’ll also show you how you can participate yourself. Whether you’ve never written an advocacy letter before or you’re interested in becoming more involved in human rights work, we’ll walk you through the process and show you how simple it is to take action.
Drop by for a few minutes or stay for a conversation. Learn about the human rights violations we’ve addressed this past semester, discover how collective action creates real change, and find out how you can become part of Amnesty International’s global movement for justice.

Student Caucus Gathering: Informational Briefing with TRU Community Trust
2027-03-10 18:00 - 19:30 | TRUSU Lecture Hall, 1055 University Drive, Kamloops, BC, V2C0C8, Canada

Funding Your Future
2027-02-25 12:00 - 15:00, 2027-02-09 12:00 - 15:00 | Old Main – Student Street, 835 University Drive, Kamloops, BC, V2C 0C8, Canada
While students may sit in the same classroom and earn the same degree, the way they pay for their education can look very different. One student may graduate with scholarships and grants that never need to be repaid, while another may rely on loans that impact their finances for years after leaving school. Others may have family support or take on the full cost themselves.
The way students fund their educational journey can shape more than a student’s balance sheet. It can influence who is able to access post-secondary education, the choices students make while they are enrolled, and the long-term outcomes of earning a degree.
Drop by Student Street in Old Main from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and chat with the TRUSU Community Affairs Committee about the differences between loans and grants, who can access different forms of financial support, and how funding choices impact students during and after their education.
Discover how grants, loans, and other forms of financial support create different experiences for students and why those differences matter.
