The Trinity Western University Alumni Spotlight

2020 has been a complicated year, but that doesn’t have to mean your plans to buy or sell a house are over. For this AlumNights event, which took place over Zoom on July 23rd, 2020, we discussed the state of the Canadian real estate market. 

Guest panelists were TWU alumni realtors: 
- Sam Youssef ('00) in Abbotsford, BC 
- Jeff Miller ('16) in Edmonton, Alberta 
- Carolyn Cestnick ('88) in Burlington, Ontario 
- Chris Young ('00) in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Danielle Funston ('05) was named one of Puget Sound Business Journal's 40 under 40 honorees in 2019. In this episode, she shares her journey at Trinity Western and her experience as an accomplished senior technology executive and entrepreneur. 

What role, if any, does comedy have during times of crisis? John Voth ('10), a graduate of the theater program at TWU, answers this question and others as he shares about his experiences as an actor, director, and improv comedian in Vancouver, BC. 

Community Life pastors Tim McCarthy ('97, '06) Scott McTaggart ('04) share their experiences as pastors in the Lower Mainland and discuss the various ways they've been working with their congregations to build community in a period of isolation. 

In this pilot episode, we hear from Jaclyn Robinson (Rand, '01), a Vancouver nurse who had her whole world rocked when she and her husband Kirk contracted COVID-19. Though it was a difficult experience for Jaclyn that led to her having to be intubated for a week, she shares that she experienced God in an intimate way while recovering in the hospital.
