The International Social Justice Club (ISJC), which started Spring 2006, is excited to embark on its first full year at Trinity Western University. ISJC is a student-led club with two main goals. The first goal is to educate ISJC members and to raise awareness about social injustice issues around the world. Their second goal is to provide opportunities for students to get involved in making a difference about these issues.
It is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the problems prevalent in the world, and it can be difficult to know how to help victims of injustice. Consequently, ISJC is committed to initiating creative ways to fight for justice and to support international organizations.

They are in the dorms, the cafeteria, the classrooms - almost everywhere on campus there are new students and staff, eager to find their niche within the Trinity Western University community. Though you will encounter many unfamiliar faces in these first few weeks, chances are you will recognize that of Dr. Jonathan Raymond who became TWU’s third president this July.
Last week, Raymond opened the doors of his office to speak with Mars’ Hill about the challenges TWU has faced and his plans for renewal in the year to come. While he admitted that last year was “a very difficult year,” he said he felt that “a lot of people are really ready to move forward.”
