President Todd F. Martin expresses our values as a diverse global Christian university comprised of students from over 80 countries.
As a university, we are committed to fostering a community where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Our priority is to provide a safe learning environment for our students.
"Today, I want to make something crystal clear: regardless of its source, I have always and will continue to stand against racism in every form. I reject white supremacy and any ideology that elevates one group of people over another. I denounce the use of derogatory and disparaging labels and language and any attempts to dehumanize another individual or group. I strongly oppose the use of social media for spreading such harmful ideas. And I do this not just because it’s the right thing to do but because it is what God expects of us and how His Spirit compels us to live.
To my brothers and sisters of every background, know this: you are loved. You are valued. And in Christ, we are one. I want to be clear: that is what I stand for, and as president, that is what Trinity Western University stands for."
