How will you leverage the organization of CCU and the resources available to you to complete your degree?
CCU as an organization offers an amazing wealth of resources. This institution offers us the privilege of godly leadership, vastly skilled professors that will impart not only skills and information to the student but also biblical insight and wisdom. Furthermore, there are extra resources that expand and hone your skill base, should you chose to use it.

He further states: “There are several leverage points available to us by which we can strengthen our capacity to know and embrace our vocations.

1. The first strategy for integrating order is to keep my environment as organized and clutter free as possible to ensure effective and efficient use of my time, planning, and resources. Having an organized environment cuts down on time looking for objects, items or important documentation. Not feeling scattered, stressed and pressed for time, helps not only improve my productivity and focus but also affects the quality of time spent with my loved ones.
2. The second is Smith’s (2011) second point which is to” sustain clarity about what is important”. “First, to live an ordered life we have to sustain a clear sense of what really matters and what is truly important.” (Smith, 2011, p. 252). As a Christ follower, mother, wife and, now college student, I have to discern and create an order of priorities that will dictate how my day will be organized. When we have this insight, we can deal with life’s problems and everyday frustrations with the big picture in

    My mother, Annette MacRitchie, made the life changing decision to come to TWU from Ontario. In 1985, she had the privilege of being awarded the Terry Fox Scholarship, which she could choose to use at any Canadian University. She chose to attend Trinity because at that time it was the only Christian university in Canada. It turns out she never moved back to Ottawa, and the bonds made at Trinity have survived the test of time. To this day, she still tells me it was the best decision she made in her younger years.…

    Susan Wolf, a professor at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, wrote Meaning in Life and Why It Matters to try to figure out why one’s life has meaning. She presents three different views to address the question of whether or not someone exhibits a meaningful life. Wolf presents what is called the fulfillment view, the larger-than-oneself view, and the bipartite view, however each view raises a problem that is sufficient enough to say that it does not answer the question presented before. As a result, she creates her own view on the meaning of life and it is called the fitting fulfillment view. It is a fairly sound argument; however, many people have tried to present an argument against it.…

    In Student Affairs we can challenge students to think creatively, speak boldly, and lead fiercely in their college careers. Students attend college to gain knowledge and learn at a higher level of thinking, to me that means we must challenge them to adapt and learn more about themselves, the world they live in, and how they would like to fit into the world around them. This concept is greatly encouraged by the Social Change Model of Leadership Development, a framework that encourages students to learn about integrity, authenticity, inclusion, meaning making and collaboration (Komives, 2011). As Student Affairs professionals, we can provide students with leadership experience and challenge their developmental growth through leadership, teaching students that leadership is not only about holding a position but rather the behaviors of working towards shared goals and ideals (Komives,…

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
