Dausen Kluin Encourages Students to Persevere

Dausen Kluin, who was born with Cerebral Palsy and has limited mobility on the left side of his body, presented a motivating message at University Convocation, Tuesday, November 26.  Drawing from his own experience in overcoming adversity, Kluin told students they simply should not give up trying to achieve their goals.  A short video about Kluin can be viewed here.

While Kluin would love to play hockey, because of his physical condition, he has taken up competitive arm wrestling.  He has twice competed in the Worlds of Arm Wrestling.  In 2010, he placed 6th in the Disabled Division and 7th in the Youth Division.  Kluin is currently training for the 2015 Arm Wrestling World Championships which will be held in the United States.  (At the end of his presentation, Kluin arm wrestled Pastor Ron Sydenham . . . and won!)






University Convocation is a series of eight special presentations CUC sponsors as a service to the community and campus.  Leland Klassen, a Christian comedian, will be featured at our next University Convocation, Tuesday, February 4.  There is no admission charge; everyone is welcome.
