As a global Christian university, TWU seeks to equip graduates for life. Key to this work is our effort to help students better understand their identity, values, and calling in the world.
Building strong and effective international partnerships helps to create a foundation for greater understanding, growth, co-operation, and development. Global partnerships enable TWU students to have a fuller education, enriched by the perspectives, experiences, and lives of people from many cultures.
On June 8, 2023 Trinity Western University was honoured to welcome a delegation from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that included the consular representatives of Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines.
The ASEAN delegation visited TWU Richmond campus' Minoru location as part of a Richmond, B.C. study tour led by Councillor Chak Kwong Au from the City of Richmond that introduced the delegates to the region's strengths.
Highlighting TWU's student-focused education
TWU President Mark Husbands, Vice President of Innovation, Global and Academic Partnerships Phil Laird, and Executive Director of TWU Richmond Rebecca Swaim welcomed the ASEAN delegation. Following presentations on the value of TWU’s unique student-focused education and the economic strengths of the Richmond area, ASEAN delegates contributed questions and comments on behalf of their countries’ interests and the interests of students seeking educational and advancement opportunities in Canada.
