As we wrap up the academic year, our Tourism faculty came together to reflect on their teaching, research, and highlights from throughout the year.
It was inspiring to hear about the incredible work this team has put into creating engaging learning experiences and supporting student success.
Thank you to our faculty for their dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence throughout the year! 👏

One of the most unique and exciting events on campus, the Rail Riot, was founded by valedictorian Justin Tarasoff! 🏂
Known by many as “the Rail Riot guy”, Justin is passionate about community involvement and creating spaces that bring people together. During his time at TRU, he found a strong sense of belonging and built lasting relationships through campus life and student engagement.
Alongside his academic excellence, he received the Sun Peaks Tourism & Events Award (2024) and the Peter R.B. Armstrong Award (2025) for his contributions to education and entrepreneurship in the community.
Now, working at Tourism Kamloops, he’s continuing to make an impact for both locals and visitors.
