#myCMUlife | Where creativity and community thrive

CMU prides itself on its tight-knit and welcoming community, with plenty of opportunities to interact with peers outside of classes, whether you live on campus or you're a commuter student. One of the driving forces behind these events is the Arts & Entertainment committee.

As the title implies, the Arts & Ents committee is responsible for providing fun events all throughout the year for students to take part in at no extra cost to the students. One consistent event that has remained solid throughout the years is the coffeehouse, usually put on multiple times a year. Coffeehouses are a chance for students to showcase their music or any other forms of performance. As a university with a diverse demographic of students, it's nice to see what kind of projects your fellow students have been creating in their free time.

Those figures, the most recently available, come from Statistics Canada General Social Survey on Caregiving and Care. And over the next five years, they will form the background to new research by Canadian Mennonite University Prof. Heather Campbell-Enns.
