Alumni in their own words - J.D. Penner (CMBC '92)
Where has life taken you since you left CMU?
My journey since graduating from CMU (formerly Canadian Mennonite Bible College) has been anything but conventional.

Sunday@CMU: April 2025
Recognizing Jesus
This month on Sunday@CMU, we're hearing from Isaac Kuhl-Schlegel, Practicum Coordinator at CMU. In his role, he helps students explore their futures and vocations through work-integrated learning. Isaac is also a CMU alumnus who studied relational theology and then completed a Master of Theological Studies in Toronto. In this series, he reflects on what it takes for us to recognize Jesus in our lives: what makes it hard, what's at risk, and how love compels us to do it anyway.

For students and academics alike, April 1 marks the winding down of the winter term and an opportunity to keep up a longtime tradition of pulling practical jokes on the Shaftesbury campus.
