The Western University branch of Power to Change – Students is a a community of students who grow together in our knowledge and love of Jesus Christ through small groups, prayer meetings, social events, and our club-wide Friday night gatherings which include worship, speakers, discussions, and a social activity. As we know Christ more, we also aim to represent him and his love on campus and in the broader London community through outreach and service opportunities. Though our community is Christ-centred, you do not have to be a Christian to participate! You are welcome to join us if you have any curiosity about who Christ is, or if you simply want a friendly, easy-going group of students to talk with regularly. We hope to see you there!

The Alzheimer’s Western Club has three main goals: spreading awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, supporting students in volunteer and research opportunities, and raising funds for the Alzheimer Society of London and Middlesex.-We raise awareness on campus and in the London community through partnered events with the Alzheimer Society, like card signings for long-term care residents and our virtual reality Alzheimer’s simulator. We help students pursue volunteering and research by connecting them with flexible opportunities, offering tours of research institutes like Robarts and Lawson, and providing chances for our members to participate in neuroscience research experiments. To raise funds, we’ve hosted fundraisers and events such as bar nights, bowling, Chess/Poker/game night tournaments, and trivia nights, often partnering with other clubs like MotionBall, Students Fight Parkinson’s and Western Chess Club to maximize our impact.-Join us and register as a member to make a real difference!
