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.

“
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.

“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 Bevilacqua ’03 BSc General, BA History Communications Manager
Photos Brian took while in India
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.
