Welcome message from the 2017/18 president, Luke Shaver
Welcome! We’re glad you are here. Whether you’re looking for an opportunity to grow in intellectual and spiritual community, grab the world’s best pancakes or free coffee in our collegium, fund your ideas to supplement TWU curricular activity with conferences, seminars, or trainings, or anything of the like, we hope our website will assist you in that process.
As you explore these pages, may you gain a greater understanding of the vision and values of The Grad Student Association – to promote a mature and active commitment to Jesus Christ among Trinity Western graduate students through encouraging and resourcing intellectual dialogue, spiritual enrichment, and social gathering of its body! We hope you can easily find what you are looking for. If there are any ways we can be of service along the way, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Blessings,
Luke Shaver
