\nTaking place November 24, 2014 at 11:30 AM in CMU\u2019s Chapel, Tuition Freedom Day marks the end of the fiscal year paid for by student tuition, and the beginning of the year made possible by grants and donations from the Manitoba government, churches, and individual donors.<\/p>\n
The day is \u201ca valuable way for students to understand that the amount that they pay is a small portion of what it costs for their education for one year,\u201d says Marilyn Peters Kliewer, Dean of Student Life.<\/p>\n
Marla Langelotz, Lead Pastor at Sargent Mennonite Church; Dr. Paul Peters, recipient of a Blazer Distinguished Alumni Award in 2007 and previous CMU board chair will speak to students on behalf of this year\u2019s donors.<\/p>\n
