CAMP
The word “camp” can take you in a lot of different directions. There is the camp you might have spent your summer working at–the campfire, the cabins, the bug spray. And then there is Camp—the kind Susan Sontag wrote about in her 1964 essay, “Notes on Camp.”
For something to be Camp, Sontag suggests the need for something…

There is more beyond Campus, but even more within it
As Trinity Western University (TWU) students, we are fortunate to have a community built around more than academics. We are surrounded by people who share a faith in Christ, giving us opportunities to serve and build relationships with one another.

From Vancouver to Bangkok in Search of Peace
In a world that feels more divided than ever, the need for peace has never been more urgent. I had the opportunity to sit down with two inspiring TWU students, Lyndsey Darichuk and Samuel Gokul, who are already making waves of change throughout our community.

This event was held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok over three days. Individuals from around the world gathered to further learn about the need for lasting peace.

BREAK IT!
In Silicon Valley there’s a famous quote from Mark Zuckerberg: “Move fast, break things.” His aim with this quote was to move as fast as possible without looking too deeply into the mistakes, but then he found out that this approach was costing him more money and time than what he could be making from it. As young adults…

MOTHER'S LOVE
I didn’t regularly attend camp, so I remember more summer activities that I did with my family. One summer we went strawberry picking at a farm. I was picking through the path of strawberries and my mom was next to me. As I was walking,…
