Rev. Vince Solomon, CMU Elder in Residence
"Though many things have changed, CMU continues to embody the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It is not afraid to call itself a Christian university in the Anabaptist faith tradition.

We're inspired by thousands of alumni of CMU and predecessor colleges, whose lives bear witness to why this place matters to church and society.
