University & Colleges' Christian Fellowship
Greetings! Welcome to the 2023/24 academic year. I’m Christina Lawrence, the president of the UCCF Club at the western campus. Our club is a Christian-based society dedicated to strengthening students’ spiritual growth. It’s open to all, not just Christians, but also anyone seeking to know Christ better. Our motto, “TO KNOW CHRIST AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN,” reflects our commitment to evangelism and spreading the Gospel. As we embark on this new year, let’s carry with us the wisdom of St. Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a candle and hide it; they let it shine to illuminate the house. Let your light shine before others, so they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Wishing you an exceptional year with God’s strength!
The Actuarial Science Club
The University of Technology Actuarial Science Club is a club that centers our meetings around three primary aspects: life lessons(adulting), fun activities, and core Actuarial/Math concepts. These aspects mean we have each meeting centered around something differently each week. Despite being the Actuarial Science Club we usually organize meetings in a way that students from other majors can join, participate and enjoy our meetings, especially those from any business or math related majors. As a club we try to help students in each area of life development, ie, academically, socially and as a general stress reliever from the pressure of academic struggles.
