CMU unveils new visual identity: built on tradition, bold for the future

CMU has unveiled a new visual identity that reflects its deep roots in the Anabaptist tradition while boldly articulating its vision for the future. The refreshed identity features a new logo, a renewed colour palette, and a modern design system that will be integrated across campus, digital platforms, and publications in the coming months.

The rebrand comes as CMU celebrates its 25th anniversary as a university. "This is more than a new logo," said Dr. Cheryl Pauls, CMU President. "It offers a visual expression of a university moving ahead with clarity and courage, remaining deeply grounded in the faith, learning, and pursuit of peace-justice that endures and continues to shape our story."

Deaf first-year student finds place at CMU, both on the court and in class

Adaptability might be Annika Goodbrandson's greatest strength. As a multi-sport athlete, Goodbrandson understands the importance of versatility and flexibility. Goodbrandson is lacing up for Canadian Mennonite University's (CMU) Blazers women's basketball team this year, and her greatest strength will be to the test.

As a deaf individual, the prevalence of adaptability has been lifelong for the first-year CMU student.

Because of this, Goodbrandson can hear relatively clearly and fills in what she can't by reading lips.
