CMU is inspired by García and MWC as a whole in nurturing a global communion of churches. The MWC Shared Convictions are formative for CMU as a learning community that is rooted in the Anabaptist faith tradition through the coming together of ten (or more) Anabaptist denominational bodies and thirty other church and faith communities. CMU faculty and students participate directly in MWC commissions and events through the Peace Commission, the Global Anabaptist Higher Education Network, and global Assemblies.

The 2023 CMU PAX Award will be awarded by CMU President Cheryl Pauls to García on Saturday, April 28 as part of the 2023 Convocation Ceremony.
