A Positive Impact on the World

The CMU Difference.
"I'm going into a very competitive field, and I knew that I could find extra help and support here. I knew about the higher standards, and that CMU could contribute to my success in the field." – Recent Graduate

With Gratitude: stories from CMU graduates

#myCMUlife | Finding your people at CMU
Life at CMU is full of unexpected lessons. Some come from professors, others from classmates, and many from late-night lounge chats or spontaneous games of hide and seek in the forest. For CMU students Ella, Jewels, and Adalynne, living and learning on campus has been just as much about personal growth as it has been about academics.
Ella doesn't just participate in student life—she's practically the poster child for it. "How much time do you have?" she joked, before listing off an impressive roster of roles: soccer and futsal player, Indigenous student leader, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion volunteer, member of the Music Student Association, CMQ, Arts and Entertainment, and the list goes on. Somehow, she does it all and still manages to sound genuinely joyful about it.
Jewels keeps busy too, but with a slightly different flavour. She works as a barista at folio café on CMU's campus and sings in two CMU choirs. Adalynne brings a thoughtful energy to their many contributions. They've volunteered in the student-run Blaurock Café and Meraki Maker Space, performed at coffeehouses, and played in the Mennonite Community Orchestra. "It's been a really nice experience," they said simply, the kind of understatement that hints at something richer beneath the surface.

Difference and Disagreement: Lessons From Scripture and a Tradition of Peacebuilding
This month on Sunday@CMU, we're hearing from Valerie Smith, Associate Registrar for Graduate Studies at CMU. She was previously Co-Director of CMU's Canadian School of Peacebuilding for its first 10 years, and co-edited the book, Voices of Harmony and Dissent, a collection of writing by peacebuilders who were instructors at the school. Valerie is also an alumna of Canadian Mennonite Bible College, a predecessor of CMU, and holds a Master of Divinity from Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. In this series, she explores themes of difference and disagreement through lessons from scripture and traditions of peacebuilding.
