Monday, March 30, 2026 @ 1:53 PM

When Rosalyn Dao, a student in the Redekop School of Business at CMU, heard about an opportunity to spend her weekend solving a business challenge for a real company and presenting it before an audience—all within 48 hours, and with a team she had never met—she was eager to take on the challenge.

The opportunity was Sprint to Innovate: The Innovation Challenge, powered by Canada Life. This year's edition, running January 30 to February 1, brought together about 100 students in technology and business from post-secondary institutions across Manitoba. Each team of four to six students raced to create a solution and viable prototype for a challenge presented by an industry organization, then prepare and deliver a pitch before the weekend was over. Dao's team, which included her and five RRC Polytech students, placed third.

Tuesday, December 12, 2023 @ 10:10 AM

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.

Jerry Buckland, Professor of International Development Studies and Craig Martin, Assistant Professor of Business may not have been in the UK for the same project, but their economic back (IDS) grounds mean both will bring back a wealth of valuable reports and material that will help sustain CMU's business and IDS studies.
