Following the release of Trinity Western University’s new 10-year strategic plan two weeks ago, President Dr. Jonathan Raymond is seeking the input of all sectors across campus to finalize the document.
“We’re trying to discern what is God’s vision for the university,” Raymond noted in an interview with Mars’ Hill. “My job is to frame the exercise and let people get their fingerprints onto it.”
Raymond has already held one meeting with faculty and another with a mix of faculty and staff last week. Overall, the president will host six or seven meetings, including one for students at the end of March or beginning of April.

According to Trinity Western University alums, the post-TWU experience is one mixed with special challenges and unexpected turns.
TWU alumni recently spent an evening dialoguing with students at the Ramada Plaza in Abbotsford. The event, called “Marketing U,” was held on Feb. 6 and featured a panel of alumni, including two keynote speakers, financial advisor Paul Lermitte and author Sam Beckford.
Hosted by the Alumni Department, the evening was meant to show students what they have to look forward to upon graduation. Without downplaying the more daunting aspects of post-university life, the panel of speakers expressed mostly positive sentiments about their post-grad experiences.
