This video highlights the voices and experiences of students at Thompson Rivers University. By going out and speaking directly with TRU students, we gained valuable insight into their perspectives on university life. We asked questions such as why they chose TRU, what program they are currently in, their plans after graduation, and what could make the university feel more like a community.

Many students shared aspirations of starting new careers or continuing to explore different opportunities after completing their studies. When discussing ways to strengthen the sense of community at TRU, a common theme was the desire for more activities and opportunities for involvement, which could help build stronger connections among students.

Creating this interview not only gave us a deeper understanding of what students value and hope for, but also helped us develop our communication skills. Engaging with students in a real-world setting pushed us outside of our comfort zones and allowed us to connect with others in a meaningful way.

Overall, this project emphasizes the importance of listening to student voices and understanding how we can work together to create a more connected and supportive university community.
