A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
TRU employees volunteer in a variety of ways throughout the community; however, there is currently no formal mechanism to record this involvement. One initiative that was recorded was TRU's involvement with the Fall 2014 United Way campaign, where 15 TRU employees provided a combined 165 hours of community service volunteering over a three month period.
