TRUesdays

TRUesdays are a weekly on-campus event that is meant to help students meet new people while doing something fun. Each week offers a new activity, from air hockey to button making to tote bag painting. The sessions run on Tuesday evenings, from 5:30-6:30 in OM 1501.

The sessions are run by Kayla Sanford, who works at TRU. She uses these sessions as an easy, low-pressure way for new students to meet other students and get learning resources from faculty. One of the students, Oreo, thinks that these events provide a jumping-off point for making friends. Having a few friendly faces in the hallways can make a big difference in a new student’s life on campus.

The energy in the room is relaxed and will instantly make you feel comfortable and ready to chat. The casual nature of these events is their biggest asset. There is no need for tickets or a reservation; just stop by and say hello. If you don’t have anyone to go with, no problem. The other students are incredibly friendly and welcoming to newcomers.

This semester, TRUesdays will continue until April 7.
