President's 50th Anniversary Initiative

President Jonathan S. Raymond, Ph.D., would like to commemorate Trinity Western’s 50th anniversary in a lasting and honouring way and, therefore, has set aside $10,000 to fund commemorative projects.

Students, staff, faculty, and alumni are invited to submit project proposals for the President’s Anniversary Initiative to the Anniversary Steering committee by April 30, 2012. 

$10,000 has been set aside to fund the winning submission(s), which will be selected by President Raymond and announced June 1, 2012.

Please submit project proposals that celebrate TWU and the Rooted and Reaching theme through the process outlined below. Ideas may include a sculptural or landscape design installation, a sustainable microfinance or green initiative, lectures or symposia, or a pay-it-forward community service event. If you had funding, what would you do to create a legacy that inspires people and celebrates the essence of TWU’s 50th Anniversary?

Any questions can be directed to Joan van Dyck, 50th Steering Committee member, at joan.vandyck@twu.ca
