The 20th annual Undergraduate Research and Innovation Conference in March 2025 approaches. Please encourage your students to apply!
The 20th annual TRU Undergraduate Conference will be held March 24-28, 2025. TRU undergraduate students from all programs can share their work with the TRU and Kamloops communities through posters or 15-minute lectures. Application forms and details will be available on the conference website. Please encourage students to apply, as they often respond to your feedback that their work is worth sharing; this may include reaching out to students who did significant work in the Fall semester. Faculty interested in having a Winter semester class share poster projects during class hours should contact Elizabeth Rennie to discuss logistics.
The TRU Library has updated its liaison services for the Kamloops Campus. The Program Liaison Teams connect you with library services and resources for teaching and research. You can contact your subject librarian or any librarian on your discipline’s liaison team for research help, collection development, or library instruction. Online-only librarians will refer you to another librarian for in-person needs. If unsure where to start, contact the Team Leads listed below.
