As parents of a student at CMU, we know what it’s like to see your son or
daughter head off to university. It’s a big step—for them and for you.
That’s why we’re glad that CMU has made a commitment to staying in touch
with parents while their children are at the university. We would like to
take this opportunity to encourage you to join us in “staying connected” in
two very important ways.
First, as a parent, you can receive the Blazer, CMU’s official publication. In it you will find reflections and news about the university that can help you stay abreast of happenings, and also give you some insight into what faculty and staff are thinking about the mission and direction of the school.
To sign up, email Joyce Friesen at jfriesen@cmu.ca and give her your mailing address.
Second, you can stay in touch through a monthly prayer and update e-mail. Each month you can receive an e-mail containing prayer requests for students, faculty and staff at CMU, along with information about events and news at CMU. We believe that one of the most important things we can do for our children, particularly in this formative and challenging stage of life, is to pray for them and for the people at CMU we have entrusted them to.
You can sign up for the parent’s e-mail list by emailing Hilda Nikkel at hnikkel@cmu.ca.
By the way, grandparents and other relatives are also welcome to get the Blazer or be part of the e-mail list! We know that they also keep their grandchildren in their prayers, and may wish to pray for them while they are at CMU.
On the left are some links to pages containing more information about life for your son or daughter at CMU.
If you cannot find an answer to your question there, please email Marilyn Peters Kliewer at mkliewer@cmu.ca, Dean of Student Life, or call her at 1. 877.231.4570 or 487.3300 (Winnipeg).
