#myCMUlife | Sustainability at CMU
With sustainable practices at the heart of many CMU students' values, it's no wonder there is a student group on campus dedicated to peace and sustainability.
The peace and sustainability committee, in collaboration with the arts and entertainment committee, holds a week-long festival every year with education and events to engage students in sustainability. This year's festival included a thrift store trip, a fashion show, a winter cycling workshop, a market, and last but certainly not least, a dumpster diving excursion.

My journey since graduating from CMU (formerly Canadian Mennonite Bible College) has been anything but conventional. While I earned a Bachelor of Church Music with a concentration in vocal performance, and minors in piano and violin, my professional path took a dramatic turn into the world of finance and banking. Early on, I discovered an unexpected interest in administration and finance during summer jobs in Toronto.
