University studies are a time to prepare for life in the “real world.” But how does one do that?
You can, of course, register at university, hide your head in the books (or is it the proverbial sand?), cultivate your intellectual capacity and develop the skills needed for a successful career. After all, becoming a contributing member of society is positive, and having a job that is rewarding in every sense of the word is important. Universities and colleges are adept at proclaiming the most up-to-date information available, or providing the most technical training possible.
But is that enough for life in the world out there, a world of uncertainty and struggle? Does that answer the really important questions of life?
CMU is a university. As such we value excellent teaching, rigorous thinking and practical preparation for a career. But as a Christian university, we do this within a framework of faith in the God of love, and the conviction that this faith makes a difference in how we understand our world. It makes a difference in how we live and relate to fellow citizens of this planet. It makes a difference in how we think and do our jobs. Through courses, through relationships with faculty and fellow students, and through worship, CMU brings all of life together, and helps prepare people for living life to its fullest, even when times are difficult.
I welcome you to Canadian Mennonite University, an academic community committed to preparing students for all of life, so that their lives can make a difference.
