Where we’re headed | 2026-2031

We aspire to be a catalyst for business, economic and societal transformation in the BC Interior and beyond. We prepare responsible, innovative professionals to drive meaningful business, economic and societal change through experiential learning, impactful research, and collaboration with industry, community, and Indigenous partners.

Our Values

  • Learning: We value excellence in teaching, impactful research, experiential learning, community engagement, and collaboration.
  • Professionalism: We are committed to academic integrity, accountability, embracing challenges, ethical behavior, hard work, and effective engagement.
  • Respect: We respect each other and our differences, the community, and the environment.
  • Reconciliation and Inclusion: We honour Indigenous knowledge and commit to the meaningful inclusion of Indigenous perspectives. We strive to create an environment of belonging that reflects equity, diversity, and the integration of multiple ways of knowing.

The Strategic Plan is consistent with TRU’s Vision Statement.

Our Strategic Change Priorities

The world is changing quickly. Universities like ours are important centres of research and innovation, and it’s important that we prepare our students and ourselves to lead the next wave of socially and environmentally responsible organizations. Here’s how we aim to do that:

  1. Embed a supportive research environment in our organizational culture.
  2. Foster a culture of continuous teaching innovation supported by robust resources, emerging technologies and best practices, while expanding diverse learning opportunities and comprehensive academic and career support for our students.
  3. Advance reconciliation through proactive, collaborative actions aligned with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.
  4. Achieving and maintaining an internationally recognized accreditation.
  5. Demonstrate our commitment to sustainability through teaching, learning and research.

Work is already well underway and we’re proud of where we’re headed. Read the full strategic plan. Read the full strategic plan.
