Two graduate students at Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) have received Canada Graduate Research Scholarships to support research exploring how communities can respond to climate change and how survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation can rebuild their lives.

Jason Cegayle and Annamaria Babuskova are pursuing Master of Arts degrees in Peacebuilding and Collaborative Development (MAPCD) at CMU. Although their research addresses different social issues, both students emphasize the importance of listening to and working with communities.
