TRU has received top recognition from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) with a 2024 Gold Circle of Excellence Award for the 2022-23 Report on Philanthropy.
Your Report on Philanthropy is published annually in print and online by the Office of Advancement, showcasing the impact of charitable contributions to the university. The 2022-23 Report on Philanthropy, written by TRU Advancement and designed by TRU Marketing and Communications, showcased how philanthropy advances reconciliation, scholarship, athletic achievement and more. It featured the words of students, donors, faculty and alumni.
CASE is an international organization with members in 28 countries and the Circle of Excellence Awards are the premier recognition program for educational advancement.
