TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY

MISSION The mission of Trinity Western University, as an arm of the Church, is to develop godly Christian leaders: positive, goal-oriented university graduates with thoroughly Christian minds; growing disciples of Jesus Christ who glorify God through fulfilling the Great Commission, serving God and people in the various marketplaces of life.

VISION Every graduate is equipped to think truthfully, act justly, and live faithfully for the good of the world and the glory of God.

Since our first days in 1962, Trinity Western has held a unique vision for delivering an academically excellent liberal arts and sciences education within the context of a Christ-centered community. We have grown to become the largest faith-based university in Canada and one of North America’s premier Christian universities, offering a full range of undergraduate degrees (44) and graduate degrees (19), as well as professional schools in nursing, education, clinical psychology, and business. What we are most proud of is our diverse alumni community—who, in all walks of life, are the embodiment of our mission as they positively impact the lives and communities they serve. We are driven by a deep desire to equip you to find and fulfill your purpose, by helping you discover your passion and develop it into a profession—so you, too, can live a fulfilling life of positive impact and meaning.

CATHOLIC INTELLECTUAL FORMATION

TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY

CATHOLIC INTELLECTUAL FORMATION Catholic Pacific College provides students with a unique environment where they can be formed intellectually and sacramentally as Catholics while at the same time engage in ecumenical dialogue. CPC offers the Catholic Formation Track (CFT) of the TWU Core Curriculum, which introduces students to the richness of the Catholic intellectual tradition and engages with fundamental questions that pertain to all aspects of life, enabling students to make informed choices about faith, relationships, vocation, and careers. Students can complete the CFT while earning a degree in one of the 44 undergraduate majors offered by TWU. This formation is endorsed by the Archbishop of Vancouver, J. Michael Miller: “Catholic Pacific College is a genuine Catholic college. CPC’s unique relationship with an evangelical university promotes dialogue regarding the shared mission of bringing Christ and His gospel to the world. At CPC, students experience an outstanding Catholic formation while preparing for a wide variety of careers.” Because of this strong Catholic formation, CPC is one of only two Catholic post-secondary institutions in Canada listed in The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College.

Expand out into the world. Find an outreach opportunity that’s right for you, and use your talents to change lives for Christ. Here are a few options: • Help out in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. • Volunteer with our local prison and youth center ministries. • Join a missions team in countries like Haiti, Israel, and Cambodia. • Start a new international or local outreach program. Develop your faith. Take part in some great on-campus programs, like spiritual formation workshops on Tuesdays and Thursdays, small-group Bible studies, or a student mentorship. And because professors intentionally connect Christian faith and academic learning, you’ll be equipped as a growing disciple as you in class. Here, excellent academics and vital faith come together. Refresh your faith at Chapel. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—the respite you crave in the midst of a busy schedule—Chapel helps you carve out the time and space you need to meet with and hear from God. Non-mandatory but vital, with a great lineup of speakers, interactive worship, and other special activities, it’s one of the best ways for you to encounter God on campus and be empowered to do the things He cares about.

WHERE WILL YOUR JOURNEY LEAD? For Mowa Adeleye (’19), sport was always a passion, but in her four years at Trinity Western University, she discovered it could also be a platform. The Spartans track and field star, who finished her career with two U SPORTS medals and four Canada West medals in triple jump, deepened her faith while at TWU. At Trinity Western, Mowa learned how to connect the pursuit of excellence and personal faith in Christ. “Coming here and delving into the Word of God allowed me to realize how much freedom I have because I’m loved by God. My value as a person was previously based on my result on the track. But who you are as a person is what’s important. That gave me so much freedom to enjoy the sport and do it for God’s glory and to allow people to maybe even get curious about God through what I’m doing and what my teammates are doing.” Now, having graduated from TWU with Great Distinction holding a degree in biology and chemistry, Mowa plans to become a doctor and, with a compassionate heart, has a deep desire to serve in vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. “I’m really passionate about showing people they are loved by God; and because they are loved by God, they have the freedom to be unapologetically themselves.”

97% are satisfied with their decision to attend

“I checked out other schools where you’re just one person in a hive. The small class sizes at TWU mean you can talk to a professor without having to schedule it in advance. I’m also grateful for their multidisciplinary and liberal arts mandate—which helped when I had to write professional documents for grant submissions or come up with tentative legal agreements in launching the video game.” Kevin Harwood Creative Director & Producer, “The Station” video game BBA (’13)

“At Trinity Western, I had the opportunity to learn the art of nursing in an environment that recognizes people and patients as more than merely physical beings. I was supported and encouraged to pursue my passions for both nursing and global health and given a solid foundation on which to base my nursing career and vocation.” Kalisse Barwich Registered Nurse MSN (’17)

“Trinity Western’s lab environment is fantastic. I think that’s what most prepared me for being a researcher. My professors taught me to think like a researcher, to work in a lab, and to think about science in a broader fashion.” William Sikkema PhD candidate BSc Biotechnology & Chemistry (’14)

“My time at TWU was beyond remarkable! I have witnessed how the benefits I reaped from my undergraduate studies are becoming more and more tangible the deeper I get into my field of work. Since graduating from the Kinesiology program, I have been supported and encouraged by the amazing community of professors, peers, and staff towards my future career. I can say, undoubtedly, that I wouldn’t be where I am now without the blessing of studying at Trinity Western University.” Amy Saya BHK (’20)

“TWU has shown me an example of what a good, nurturing community looks like and how meaningful intercultural relationships grow one another. Student leader experiences to develop and bridge communities of different cultures helped me discover my passion for empowering communities of diversity. Being the Small Groups Intern in Student Life the following year after graduation, I can surely say that time in TWU led me to unexpected yet valuable opportunities.” Florence Song BA (’19)
