Our Leaders
Meet Our President
My name is Sofiah Thomas, and I’m Cru’s President for the 2025/2026 academic year. I joined Cru in my first year, and my relationship with Jesus strengthened in a way that I had never imagined. From just joining a discipleship group to getting more involved, I found a place of belonging where I could be encouraged in my faith. I would love for others on campus to experience the love of God and have an uplifting community like this one.
Meet our Vice President
My name is Aimee! I’m in my second year of the Social Work Special degree and I’m so honoured to be serving in the Cru team for this academic year. I look forward to reconnecting with the CRU community on campus and continuing to serve the Lord in this way.”
Meet our Public Relations Officer
My name is Tamyra, a third year student and I’m excited to serve for this new academic year. I’m looking forward to meeting new people and growing deeper in Christ. I’m happy to be a part of this Cru community and see what God has in store.
Meet our Treasurer
My name is Nicah Cruickshank, and I will be serving as the Treasurer for this academic year. I am an outgoing and passionate individual who harbors a strong desire to serve God earnestly in every aspect of my life. My goal as Treasurer is to reflect Christ in such a way that it will positively impact the lifestyle lives of many and help others in knowing God intimately.
Meet our Secretary
My name is Ryann ‘Jahnia’ Thompson, and I’m honoured to serve as your secretary for the 2025-2026 academic year. I am excited to support this community and witness how Jesus will move in each of you.
When I began at UWI, I longed for a space to grow – and Cru became that home. Through discipleship meetings, my faith deepened, and I found the courage to share the Truth with others. Now, I pray you all embrace this journey as I have and discover God’s purpose in all that you do
