Gina Loewen
Coordinator of Academic Advising
Gina transitioned to the role of Coordinator of Academic Advising on the CMU Shaftesbury campus in 2022 after serving as Academic Advisor & Coordinator of Student Services at Menno Simons College for more than 14 years. Gina is passionate about guiding and supporting students on their academic journeys - building meaningful relationships, helping students make decisions about courses and majors, exploring career and vocational possibilities, and collaborating with faculty and staff to provide quality services for students.
Gina holds a Bachelor and Master of Arts in Linguistics from the University of Manitoba, as well as a Bachelor of Theology from Canadian Mennonite Bible College (now CMU). Her passion for language and culture has been life-long, which led her to pursue opportunities to teach English, study language, and travel in and around Indonesia, South Korea, and Guatemala.
In addition to traveling, Gina enjoys a variety of outdoor activities (biking, camping, skiing), playing piano and singing, gardening, reading, and socializing with family and friends. Gina is married, has two adult step-daughters, and is a member of Home Street Mennonite Church.
