About TWU GSA
We are here to support, empower and represent graduate students
at Trinity Western University
Our History
On May 14th, 2004 students from the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and ACTS voted to approve the formation of the Trinity Western University Graduate Student Association (TWUGSA). Prior to this vote, the TWUGSA Constitution was approved by the TWU Board of Governors and the TWUGSA Bylaws were approved by the President's Cabinet.
The main focus of TWUGSA is to serve the graduate student body by providing representation on a global scale through personal involvement with Trinity Western University's administrative committees. Secondly, TWUGSA wishes to enhance and support the individual graduate student experience at Trinity Western University.
OUR MISSION
To serve the graduate student body in the many aspects of student experience and to promote a mature and active commitment to Jesus Christ among its members.
OUR VISION
Create a welcoming, connected, and supportive graduate student community where students can grow academically, personally, professionally and spiritually.
Meet Our Executive Team
Dedicated graduate student leaders committed to representing your voice, fostering community and creating opportunities for every TWU graduate Student.
Terrance Mansaray-Nyirongo
GSA President
As a Malawian Canadian and believer in Christ, I am a graduate student enrolled in the Master of Arts in Leadership (Business) program at Trinity Western University. I am dedicated to serving others and creating a supportive graduate community where all students feel welcomed, valued, and motivated to realize their full potential. I aim to create opportunities for graduate students to forge meaningful relationships, enhance their academic, personal, and spiritual growth, and develop a genuine sense of belonging. I believe that faith and education are interconnected, and I hope students not only succeed in their studies but also deepen their relationship with Christ and uncover God's purpose for their lives. My prayer is that each graduate student departs TWU with enduring friendships, memorable experiences, a strengthened faith, and the confidence to influence their communities positively and beyond.

I am in the Leadership in Healthcare stream and have a background in Physiotherapy from India. I am currently working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant supporting neurodivergent children. I naturally connect with people through communication, empathy, and understanding, and I consider myself people-oriented, curious, highly adaptable, and reflective in my approach. I am passionate about improving students’ experiences and helping individuals grow personally and professionally in their fields.

Our Leader Team at Langley Campus
Hi everyone! I'm Parineeta Chauhan, an MBA student in International Business at Trinity Western University. I currently serve as a Media Assistant Photographer with the GSA and work as a Community Support Worker. I am passionate about sales, marketing, leadership, and building meaningful connections with people. Outside of work and academics, you'll often find me playing sports, hiking, working out, or capturing moments through photography and videography. I also recently started a YouTube channel named Parineeta Chauhan, where I share university vlogs. Feel free to check it out!!
Parineeta Chauhan
Media Assistant & Photographer
My name is Chris and I'm excited to be a part of the GSA team for 2026-2027! I'm a current TEDS (and former ACTS) student in the Master of Divinity program, hoping to work as a pastor or missionary after completion. Aside from studying, I love to play all kinds of sports (like volleyball, flag football, and rock climbing), meet new people, and try things that bring me out of my comfort zone as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none! I also love to have conversations with people about the deeper things in life, and am looking forward to meeting all of you at events, in the office, or around campus!
