Who are CMU alumni?
Given CMU's unique history, it's understandable that this question arises! The answer is simple.
An alumnus is any person who has completed a minimum of 18 credit hours at MBBC/Concord, CMBC, or CMU through the Shaftesbury undergraduate or graduate programs, or the Outtatown Discipleship School.

From basketball star to keeper of stories: CMU alum brings Mennonite history to life
Andrew Klassen Brown makes working in archives sound as exciting as an experimental jet test pilot.
The 32-year-old CMU alum works as the Archivist and Records Manager with Mennonite Central Committee Canada, serves as the vice-president of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society, and spends his free time visiting secluded attractions important to Mennonite history, such as the Mennonite Memorial Landing Site on the Banks of the Red River near Ste. Agathe, MB.
CMU taught Kyle Devine how to think “inside out and upside down”
The current Dean of Graduate Studies at the University of Winnipeg came to CMU from Providence University College, by way of the University of Manitoba, where he initially planned to become a dentist.
After a conversation with a friend attending CMU, who mentioned a course on the history of rock music, he quickly changed direction. That pivot eventually led him to CMU's Music Department in the early 2000s, where he graduated in 2006.
