Internationalization Resources

"Preparing Canadians for the 21st century requires new knowledge, new skills, new approaches and new attitudes, none of which will be as complete or pertinent without an international dimension to our education"
-- AUCC Statement on Internationalization and Canadian Universities.

This section of the website was created to provide information about internationalization initiatives at TRU to faculty and staff members as well as those external to TRU.

"There seems to be renewed emphasis on internationalization as a means of enhancing the international and intercultural understanding and skills of students and staff. The escalating number of national, regional, international, and cultural conflicts are pushing academics to help students understand global issues and international and intercultural relationships. The mobility of the labor market and cultural diversity in communities and work places require that both students and academics have an increased understanding and skills to work and live in a culturally diverse or different environment."
