Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake Campus is putting out the welcome mat.
Tomorrow (October 15) they invite everyone in the community and surrounding area to their annual Open House from 9 am to 3 pm.
Events Coordinator Kim Kimberlin said this is a great opportunity to learn about what TRU has to offer.
“We will have campus tours available running about every 90 minutes. You can walk through the school, see the library and go through our Trade Shops. We have a Nursing Apartment Simulator that will allow people to visit the Nursing Labs as well as the Gathering Place. This Open House really gives the community an opportunity to get to know the Campus and the Staff, and really become acquainted with everyone here.”
And even though the TRU Williams Lake Campus is relatively small, Kimberlin said they offer a lot of courses.
“We have our new courses that will come out the winter and we have all of our programming from trades to nursing to education and social work, we have the School of Business, as well as the Adventure Culinary and Tourism program coming up along with a few others.”
Kimberlin said they were working with the School District to try to have all the grade 7 to 12 students come to the Open House which is a great way for them learn what we have to offer.
“Our Williams Lake Campus has a lot of Mature Students who have already completed High School and have been in the workforce for a couple of years. They may already have families so they are typically pretty busy folks so a lot of our programming and courses are designed so that they can be taking those while they are still working and potentially making a career shift. We also have a lot of upgrading options available for people to choose from,” Kimberlin added.
