Announcing the Mennonite Brethren Graduate Theological Education track
A message from President Dr. Cheryl Pauls
Greetings from CMU. I write to let you know what's been happening with the joint CMU/MB Seminary program since the time that MB Seminary informed CMU that for reasons of financial exigency MBS had decided to withdraw from the Affiliation Agreement between MB Seminary and CMU on May 31, 2021. Over the past year, a new four-way partnership has formed in order to rebuild a Mennonite Brethren Graduate Theological Education track (MB GTE Track) at CMU. This new partnership makes it possible for you to continue your studies with distinct MB dimensions, and the parchment you receive at graduation will be conferred jointly by CMU and MB Seminary. I see this new arrangement as a very good thing, and I'm deeply encouraged to be able to sustain the MB track at CMU in service of ministry education that relates very directly to the MB Church.

Flash back to summer of 2020, when the world was in lockdown from a rapidly spreading virus. Training was shutdown, the likelihood of a college season starting in fall was just a glimmer of hope, and the idea of a year of online classes was rapidly looking like an inevitability. Like most people around him, Nguyen was rapidly shrinking his social bubble as the list of restrictions on social gatherings, travel, and services continued to lengthen; however, at a time when others were just waiting for the pandemonium to end, Binh Nguyen was researching opportunities to grow his game while everyone else was locked in.

Innovative Indigenous language database developed and launched by Li Keur team and CMU
The team behind Li Keur, Riel's Heart of the North launched an innovative Indigenous language database this spring.
Li Keur is a new dramatic musical work co-created by Métis poet and scholar Dr. Suzanne Steele, who wrote the libretto, and CMU Adjunct Professor of Music Neil Weisensel, who composed the music alongside Métis fiddler Alex Kusturok. It is a reimagining of Louis Riel's "missing" years from 1870–72 and the strong women that surrounded him.
