Being an international student at CMU
Being an international student at CMU is an amazing opportunity for you to learn more about other cultures and discover more about yourself. It is a time to explore and immerse yourself into a new experience.
The CMU community was very welcoming to me. They were more than ready to help me adjust and help me out as I started a new life in Canada. Students and faculty are very friendly in the way they approach international students, they are eager to know about your culture and teach you about theirs.

In pursuit of human rights
A desire to correct injustices led MSC alumna Heather Unger (MSC '03, IDS 4–year) to pursue a career in human rights.
Since 2010, Unger has worked at the Manitoba Human Rights Commission (MHRC). Until November 2014 she held the position of Human Rights Investigator. In that role, Unger investigated complaints of discrimination and determined which cases should be recommended for mediation or adjudication. Based on the evidence that human rights investigators gather, a board of commissioners decides whether a complaint should be dismissed or sent to a mediation or adjudication process.

As a high school student I loved being on Student Council and planning events, so I immediately felt the need to find similar committees once I got to university, and I found them—plus so much more!

Living in residence: A rich and stimulating experience
One of the best parts of studying at CMU has little to do with studying: community. Because of the smaller size of the campus, it is almost impossible not to find yourself becoming involved in a vibrant and diverse group of people. And so it comes as no surprise that living in residence is a rich and stimulating experience.
CMU offers three different residence facilities, which provide single dorms, double occupancy dorms, apartments, suites, and everything in between. I live in Poettker Hall, the dorm facility connected to the dining hall on the south campus. It features a men’s wing and a women’s wing, with a basement of apartments. I have made the excellent decision of living with one of my closest friends from my Outtatown experience and have enjoyed every day sharing my space with him.
