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.
Where has your life taken you since you left CMU?
I graduated from CMBC in 1995, which feels like a lifetime ago and yet only last week. There is this dual reality in my head where I feel like I'm still the same person I was back in the 1990s and my core personality is exactly as it was when I was sitting in the lounge in what is now Poettcker Hall, (but was back then, just 'the res').
Where has your life taken you since you left CMU?
After CMU, I was offered a full scholarship at the University of Manitoba. I completed two degrees and played professional basketball. I am now juggling the life of coaching, playing (traveling the world through basketball), refereeing, and teaching in the Winnipeg School Division. CMU was the start of my academic and playing career—I would not have had these opportunities without CMU.
I guess you could say that music runs in Lacey Friesen's blood. Her role as a Music Therapist at HSC Children's Hospital could not be better suited to her interests, personality, or way of life.
"I grew up in a very musical family, with a mother who taught private music lessons, a father who plays drums and sings, and two musical sisters. We grew up singing in church together," said Lacey. "There was just so much music around me."
