The International Social Justice Club is a club that has existed on Trinity Western University’s campus for four years now. Loosely based on Gandhi’s quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” the club’s aim is to actively make a difference in the lives of the poor and the oppressed. One of the goals is to seek ways in which the club can change the way we live so that others may also have the same quality of life. This is done through finding ethical alternatives to the products and through raising awareness on social issues.
Job Position: Director of Alumni

Dave Swan: I’ve been in this position for about three years. I graduated here in ’95, with a PhysEd degree.
The school year is coming to a close and everyone is beginning to look towards the horizon as summer break approaches. Before we move on it seems prudent to take a look back at some things from the past year as a means of reflection and levity. Here is the ’08-’09 year-end review:
“Once upon a time.” That’s how many stories start off. Whether those stories are fiction, non-fiction or anything in-between, they all have to start off with that sort of hook. Get the reader interested and then proceed to drag them through the rest. Whether they are terrible or life-changing, we all love stories: telling them and hearing them. For those who claim otherwise, take a moment to consider that stories are everywhere and in every media outlet. We all have this inner desire to express what has happened in our lives. Even the benign question “How’s life?” could spur on stories upon stories. Stories are a part of the fabric of our existence.
Dear A&A,
I recently read that in today’s economic climate, it is the best time to be making investments for people under 35. Since I’m graduating in a couple of months I would like to seek advice on how and if I should be making any big time investments. I’m not too versed in all of this so anything you have to say would help. Should I be looking at buying a house or stocks? Or should I just put money in a savings account? Thanks so much for all that you guys have done. You’re amazing.
