NEW SEASON OPTIMISM

TRU and City sign memorandum of understanding Wade Tomko EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Ω TRU and the City of Kamloops have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will build on their current relationship and establish a “commitment to ongoing collaboration.” While only a philosophical agreement between the two parties, the MOU serves to guide both the city and the

university in their efforts to identify and pursue opportunities for collaboration. “TRU grew with this community. We employ more than 2,100 people, have 15,000 students on campus and another 15,000 who study through Open Learning,” said TRU president Alan Shaver in the release. “Beyond that, we have thousands of alumni who call Kamloops home. It makes sense that we continue to collaborate with the city and region. This MOU says we are dedicated to increasing this collaboration.”

The official signing took place on Thursday, August 23 at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC). The TCC is perhaps the community’s most visible representation of the relationship between TRU and the City of Kamloops, home to many of TRU’s athletics programs and city offices as well.

While TRU and the city have partnered together on many previous projects, the MOU formalizes that both parties work together for their mutual benefit and the benefit of the region. (TRU)
