With international linkages in over 45 countries and a 40-year history of global engagement, TRU is naturally and deeply supportive of the Olympic movement. We strive to incorporate the Olympic values of excellence, fun, fairness, respect, and personal growth into everything we do. We believe that competition and friendliness are entirely compatible, and that we all gain when we are open to the world and its different peoples.

"Internationalization has raised our university's standing in the world and enabled our students to develop lifelong skills and connections as they prepare for life and work as citizens of our global village. TRU is truly a campus where 'the university meets the world.'" 

-- TRU's Chancellor, Canadian Senator, and celebrated Olympian Nancy Greene Raine
