Environmental Scans
Environmental scans provide context for planning with an exploration and analysis of factors affecting TRU. This work is published as short reports, each providing an intensive look into a topic relevant to TRU.
We examined factors within and outside higher education, and covered trends in social, economic, environmental, technological and political spheres. Recurring themes of equity, access, indigenization and outcomes guided us through an examination of the world around us, within TRU and within the communities we serve.
