The Qelmúcw (Indigenous) Recruiter-Advisors from TRU’s Future Student’s Office are pleased to invite you to Tea and Transitions, an informal virtual circle for new TRU students. While the event will have an Indigenous focus, all applicable new students are welcome. Please be aware that the Future Students team can only assist with campus, domestic student concerns up to the undergraduate level and this session will not be appropriate for Open Learning, international or graduate-level students. This session is intended as an open, relaxing space to get support. Pour a mug full of something warm and join us for a sharing circle, and the opportunity to get specific guidance. This will be a judgment-free space to discuss new student concerns and cultivate a virtual community as we all prepare for a unique Fall semester.
