Conversations with a Pastor in Residence
During the week of Nov. 3–7, 2014, we had the opportunity of hosting Pastor Ryan Dueck from Lethbridge, Alberta, on our campus for our Pastor in Residence Week, which takes place once each semester. During his stay with us, Pastor Ryan spoke at our weekly forum (a gathering which discusses different topics throughout the year, from sex trafficking to social media), preached at both of our chapel services, gave a session on blogging, and held two lunches, one for students interested in vocational ministry, and the other for all the CMU student leaders (student council, RAs, CAs, etc.). Pastor Ryan was also available throughout the week for students to sit down with him one on one in a less formal setting and ask him questions or simply talk things out about issues that had been on their minds.

Get to know your student ambassador: Cesar Flores
Hey, I’m Cesar, born in Honduras and raised in Guatemala and El Salvador although I spent the past eight years in Bolivia. I enjoy playing all sorts of sports, eating spicy or sour candy, and I love reading comic books, especially Marvel comics. Going to the movies with friends is one of my favourite things to do. I spent my summer traveling around Central America, visiting friends and saying goodbyes to my family.
One of the reasons I decided to attend to CMU was because of its International Development program which is taught by professors who not only know the material that they are teaching but have done field work. These professors are very interested in our life experiences and are willing to learn from us and encourage us to share our views and stories to enhance the learning experience. I come from a very small high-school which allowed me to get to know everyone at a more personal level. I wanted to continue having that experience through university and CMU offered that strong community centered I had come to enjoy.

Get to know your student ambassador: Heather Muir
Hi there! Heather here, a 3rd year general studies student here at CMU. I'm so excited to begin my second year as a Student Ambassador!
To start things off, here's a little bit about me: I live here in Winnipeg, MB, and I commute to school everyday—in fact this year I am a Commuter Assistant! This means that I get to help plan really awesome events particularly for the students who do not live in residences. I am also a member of the CMU Jazz Band, which is lots of fun and means I get to fuel my love for music even though I'm not in the music program!
