CMU announces appointment of academic dean
Dr. Janet Brenneman, Professor of Music, has been appointed Academic Dean of Canadian Mennonite University (CMU).
Effective July 2025, Dr. Brenneman begins a five-year term as Academic Dean spending her time working to support CMU faculty processes as well as maintaining a small teaching load to conduct CMU Choirs.
Upcoming lectures at CMU will highlight Anabaptist peace witness
"Why did Anabaptists and Mennonites take up arms all of a sudden? Where are the limits for Christians to participate in social developments? Where must the often very quiet voice of minorities not be silenced?" These are some of the questions Dr. Astrid von Schlachta, head of the Mennonite Research Center and lecturer at the University of Regensburg, Germany, will address at the 2025 John and Margaret Friesen Lectures.
CMU degree fosters holistic approach to therapy
Rachel Robertson has always been interested in understanding why people do what they do, and CMU's free counselling services furthered her passion for mental health care. "I would like to say my time at CMU was the best time of my life, but honestly it wasn't always; some years were really hard. But it was at CMU where I first accessed mental health supports, and that was life-changing for me," she says.
