THEME: Presenting the theme for the 2019-2020 academic year: “A generation ready to share the hope, truth & reconciliation of Jesus’ love.”
—
The phrase “A generation ready to share the hope, truth, and reconciliation of Jesus’ love” emphasizes the opportunity we have at Trinity Western University to help a generation of students find meaning and hope by establishing their identity in Jesus Christ, embracing their calling as part of the Great Commission, and preparing to embody the message of Jesus’ love in a world seeking reconciliation.

ART FOR OUR CITY
Meet Bethany! She has been working on a mural in Langley City for the last three weeks.
She is a third-year Art and Design major from Victoria, British Columbia.

We asked Bethany a few questions:

→ When did you discover your passion for the fine arts?

Welcome.
This is an inspiring story of a former refugee finding a new home in Canada and receiving the gift of a university education here, at Trinity Western University!

→ SHARE! A generous donor will be giving $1 for every share of this video to help support more well-deserving students like True.

Right on schedule.
Today we set the Larsen Atrium Clock at its new home. This clock was put in place in memory of TWU community member Stephen P. Larsen, who passed away in 1993 of cancer.

A plaque featuring a quote by him, soon to be re-installed at its new location, reads: “Right on schedule. ‘Faith is anchored in who God is, not in my circumstances...that is why there is always hope. I have had a constant sense throughout this storm that God arranged it. He’s been in control of every little step. I have deep conviction that, with God, we are right on schedule.’”

GIVING BACK IN ENGLAND: “I think one of the joys of being a Spartan is that not only do you get the privilege of wearing the jersey and playing at an elite level at a great university, but you also get with the mindset of ‘how do we serve, how do we give back?’

Whether it’s here in Liverpool where we are in pre-season where we can go and encourage a bunch of girls to love the game and give them a camp experience, help them maybe aspire to be something greater than they are right now...

Led by our faith, Nursing, for us, is more. It’s more than a classroom of compassionate and eager students; more than a faculty of respected, engaged and caring faculty; and more than a school recognized internationally for our research and thought leadership.

Nursing is a vocation, a call to care for society's most vulnerable and to serve others.

"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
-Colossians 3:12-14

MBA: Manageable class size is an important factor in creating a personalized and relevant MBA experience, Lee says.

“Given the relatively small class sizes—we try and keep it to under 30 students—what you find is more interaction among the students and the professor,” he says. “So, there [are] a lot of relationships that develop, which is unique to our program.” -Mark Lee, MBA program director

INNOVATORS & ACHIEVERS: How do you measure how useful a degree could potentially be for your future? A good place to start is to check the progress of the university’s past students.
