Family Matters
Life never stops teaching us lessons. As a new father, I have learned so much from my two-year-old daughter, Jaeda. I can’t wait to get home each day to see her, and hear about the new things she did and said that day. To her, life consists of her mom and dad. One day, she will understand that she has a whole world of resources and a community of people to draw on when she needs a hand.
I can’t help but think that the TWU alumni family is like that.
Some of us feel disconnected as we leave the TWU community — one more graduate, left to deal with life on our own. But we are not on our own. We are a massive family with more than 20,000 members located in 86 countries around the world. We have a variety of skills and talents, we work in varying industries, and we can be there for one another.
So use the resources available to you. In an age when networks are so easily accessible, consider your TWU network. Get connected with the TWU Alumni Facebook group, find resources on LinkedIn, and send in updates to twu.ca/alumni. If you have a need, remember that you are a TWU alumnus, and take advantage of the family to which you belong.
We are stronger together.
Blessings,
Dave Swan
