Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) is delighted to report that Gloria Rengifo has been appointed Vice-President, Finance commencing April 14, 2025.
Rengifo brings to CMU a wealth of experience and connections from across the financial sphere, including operational and charitable initiatives. For the last 20 years, she has helped guide NGOs of varying sizes in Canada and internationally.
Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) is pleased to announce the appointment of Charlie Peronto to the position of Vice-President, Student Life and Campus Operations commencing April 1, 2025.
Peronto began his CMU career in 2014, serving first as Residence Director for six years, then as Director of Student Life (2020) and Dean of Student Life (2021).
Under the vaulted arched ceilings of the historic Knox United Church in downtown Winnipeg, Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) celebrated its 25th graduating class on April 26, 2025. This landmark year for the university saw 97 graduates receive their diplomas in front of a large gathering of family, friends, CMU faculty, and staff.
CMU launched its graduation weekend celebrations with the annual Spring at CMU.
Held the day before the graduation ceremony in the Loewen Athletic Centre, Spring at CMU featured the long-standing tradition of 'With Gratitude', a time for graduating students to reflect on their time at CMU.
Life at CMU is full of unexpected lessons. Some come from professors, others from classmates, and many from late-night lounge chats or spontaneous games of hide and seek in the forest. For CMU students Ella, Jewels, and Adalynne, living and learning on campus has been just as much about personal growth as it has been about academics.
Ella doesn't just participate in student life—she's practically the poster child for it. "How much time do you have?" she joked, before listing off an impressive roster of roles: soccer and futsal player, Indigenous student leader, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion volunteer, member of the Music Student Association, CMQ, Arts and Entertainment, and the list goes on. Somehow, she does it all and still manages to sound genuinely joyful about it.
Jewels keeps busy too, but with a slightly different flavour. She works as a barista at folio café on CMU's campus and sings in two CMU choirs. Adalynne brings a thoughtful energy to their many contributions. They've volunteered in the student-run Blaurock Café and Meraki Maker Space, performed at coffeehouses, and played in the Mennonite Community Orchestra. "It's been a really nice experience," they said simply, the kind of understatement that hints at something richer beneath the surface.
