\u201cCameron Priebe will take on leadership of this program at an important time, with fall plans for Outtatown programs firmly in place,\u201d says Gerbrandt.\u00a0 \u201cCam brings a strong background in pastoral care and leadership of high school and university-age students.\u00a0 We feel he is particularly well suited to take on leadership of this important CMU discipleship program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great to be welcoming Cam Priebe to CMU,\u201d says Paul Kroeker, CMU Dean of International Programs and Outtatown Director (2005\u2013 2011). \u201cWe look forward to continued growth in the Outtatown program through the skill sets and perspectives of a new director.\u00a0 May he experience the Lord\u2019s blessing. \u201d<\/p>\n

Priebe holds a Master of Arts degree in Christian Ministry from Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in Fresno.

He also served with the Ministry Quest program, in which he was responsible for developing intentional retreats and ministry experiences for high school students.<\/p>\n

Currently on staff with the Mennonite Brethren National Conference, Priebe assists young leaders and churches to be intentional about the development of their relationship with God and their understanding of how they are uniquely gifted to serve and love God.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome Cameron to CMU and look forward with anticipation to the contribution he will make to the Outtatown program and to the University at large,\u201d says Earl Davey, Vice President (Academic).<\/p>\n

Outtatown offers a choice of two-semester programs at site locations in Guatemala and South Africa, for which students may earn up to 18 credit-hours, and new in fall 2011, a one-semester French Africa program.<\/em><\/p>\n
