“In high school and the first couple of years of university, I didn’t particularly like reading and writing courses—English, social studies, that kind of thing. I wasn't a super social person and was pretty quiet. And now, all I do all day is talk to people, read, and write. That's all I do. It’s funny looking back that the things I didn't like the most are exactly what I'm doing now. I think it's the context. Now, I’m doing it to help students, about things I’m passionate about.”

They’re furry, cuddly and oh so cute. Dogs are also an important part of the TRU Veterinary Technology Program.

But if you see a vet tech student walking a dog on campus wearing a yellow ribbon or bandana on its leash or collar, please give it space as that dog is in training.

Program dogs are in training throughout the year, so you might see a dog with a yellow bandana on campus at any time.

Be water smart this spring. 🌊

The weather may be getting warm but cold water and fast-moving rivers create serious risks — even for strong swimmers.

“I was a first-generation student. My father had a grade 9 education, and my mother has a secretarial certificate. We didn’t have computers growing up. I remember my first few years of university, and my mom would actually type out my essays for me on a typewriter.

To be honest, I don't think I would have ever imagined I'd be in this job. I saw education as my way to progress and move forward in my life, but I don't think I ever dreamed of becoming an AVP for students. That was something that seemed not realistic at all. So I think every day, the work that I do, I'm amazed that I'm doing it.”
