Faculty in Their Own Words - Dr. Nicolas Malagon

What do you love about your work here?
Working with the students. You have small classes, so instead of having 300 students you can have here 10 or 20 and in that way you can know them better and work with them.
Cross-continental research: CMU business faculty dive into UK economics
Two Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) faculty hopped the pond this past summer, not just to see the English countryside, visit Buckingham Palace, or catch a football game. They were there strictly for work purposes and to pursue extended research in their fields. Well, maybe also to see a little bit of countryside.
Faculty: In Their Own Words - Dr. Craig Martin
Dr. Craig Martin is Assistant Professor of Business and Program Coordinator for the Master of Business Administration program. He has taught at CMU since 2008.
What are you teaching right now that you're most excited about?
I've got two strategy courses, and the second one is especially fun. We actually turn the class into a consulting firm and we go out and work with real businesses. The idea is to work with small businesses and small organizations that typically don't have enough money to pay for a consulting firm. I also like taking on ones that struggle. Siloam Mission [a humanitarian organization serving those experiencing homelessness in Winnipeg] opened up their commercial laundry two summers ago. That business plan was actually done by our students. Those are the types of things we've been able to do and it really has an impact on students.
