Chelsea KirkpatrickMackenzie, BC4th-year, Psychology

After I complete my degree, I hope to become a one-on-one therapist. TWU’s specialized psychology classes have greatly helped me better understand the counselling process, and what is helpful and effective in acknowledging others’ pain and suffering.

Chemistry

“

“

My introduction to chemistry research and education at Trinity Western has motivated me to further my studies with graduate school. My end goal is a career that has a balance between research and education. I’m grateful that TWU gave me experience in both of these fields, with opportunities to teach freshman chemistry labs and complete research in France during the summer. p

““

I want be a valuable asset—not just in terms of what I know, but who I am. Having a sound mind, an ability to think critically, avoid bias, and work out of a place of service may not be things you put on a resume, but I know they’ll have an invaluable impact on how I work. The education I receive at Trinity Western doesn’t just improve my technical abilities, but helps me practically connect my purpose as a follower of Jesus with whatever I do.

After my education, I want to teach overseas, possibly in an orphanage or international school. My education at TWU has definitely prepared me for wherever I teach in the future—overseas or in North America. My TESOL and education classes have given me the practical tools I will need in the classroom and my experience as a whole has shaped me into the person I am today (Cheesy, I know. But it’s true!)

SCHOOL OF NURSINGCaring for the health and well-being of individuals,

families, and communities is what you want to

do. Our School of Nursing gives you the top-notch

knowledge and skills you need for a nursing career

in hospitals and community-based settings. (Our

grads are highly sought-after in the workplace, too!)


“My nursing education has shaped my practice to center my care around the person (as opposed to just the illness) of a patient. I also learned the value of walking alongside an individual in duress, and being a presence of peace and stability for them. The liberal arts component of my education solidified what it means to live as a Christian, and the importance of being a presence of love and service to others in every aspect of my life.

Brian Bevilacqua ’03

BSc General, BA History

Communications Manager

“A liberal arts degree from TWU can take you places you never expected and open your world to new possibilities. My TWU experience did so much more than simply enabling me to develop relevant career skills—it made me a more aware, more interesting, and more engaged human being.”

Brian took a year off work to help free women from the sex trade in India. Using his talent and experience in communications, Brian helped a human rights agency called International Justice Mission (IJM) document its work in the city of Mumbai. IJM provides safe houses for exploited women where they can gain valuable job training—such as computer skills, jewellery-making, or catering—that they can use to sustain themselves one day.
