A quick scan of the faces at Thompson Rivers University shows the campus is chock-full of diversity.
Now a new student body council is striving to help connect students coming from within Canada and abroad.
Since September, TRU s Intercultural Council has organized a handful of events to help shake up a tendency for students from the same culture to stick together.
And the council itself reflects the wide range of students on campus with a few Canadians, a few Russians, one Chinese student and a few Africans. We feel the campus is pretty segregated, said council member Rebecca Purdy. Domestic students stay with each other and international students stay with each other. There s not really any kind of bonding going on between the groups.
