Particularly contested was the word “innovative,” as in and carefully about the world in “CMU is an innovative Christian university.” I am uncomfortable with highlighting the term in our public rhetoric, but I believe it should be all of its dimensions. We do this burned into our psyche. within a framework shaped by I speak of “innovation” because 2011–2012 will be remembered at CMU as the year the Redekop School of Business was established.

Gerald Gerbrandt Retires Gerald Gerbrandt has served as president of Canadian Mennonite University since 2003. Prior to that, he was president of Canadian Mennonite Bible College, and played a very significant role in CMU’s creation. Gerald’s visionary leadership has contributed significantly to the thriving and much re- spected university that CMU is today. His work in securing both a degree-granting char- ter for CMU from the Manitoba Government (1998) and CMU’s acceptance into the Association of Universities and Colleges in Canada (AUCC) in 2008 is noteworthy. His imagination for program growth has shaped the University’s direction and ethos. His con- viction that CMU exists as a ‘university of the church for the world’ has been foundational. His call that CMU commit itself to educating for peace-justice and learning through think- ing and doing, and that it work to embody generous hospitality, radical dialogue, and in- vitational community has been formative. Finally, Gerald’s personable, trust-building, in- tuitive, and compassionate presence has assured the well-being of the university’s internal and external communities. He will be dearly missed.

Pastor Doug Klassen on his experience as Pastor in Residence: My week at CMU was Holy Ground as I encountered Christ in chapels and in formal and informal conversations. My initial wondering about how I would be received evaporated in the warm welcome and eager engagement I received. I encountered a vibrant spirituality as student after student I met was seeking to be faithful in what his or her life was becoming. The commitment at CMU to hold spiritual formation and academic learning together is vital – and the Pastor in Residence program certainly assists with that. I also see huge benefits for the constituency. CMU graduates will be moving across the country and I pray that my congregation at Foothills, along with others, will openly welcome them to serve and lead and to bring their commitment to Christ, so in evidence that week. Further, nothing makes preaching more relevant than having a group of young adult believers respond to and discuss how the gospel speaks to the real issues of life. My week at CMU was a blessing!

Development Highlights

President’s Circle CMU is built upon the gifts of alumni, friends, and the church to help educate a next generation of Christian leaders in all walks of life. As part of the 2011 Fall Appeal, CMU launched the President’s Circle to encourage sustained fi- nancial support of our Annual Operating Fund. Through annual contributions of $1,000 or more, President’s Circle members ensure CMU has a stable foundation to continue this mission. In our first year of the Partnership Program, over 207 people contributed at the President’s Circle level. For their commitment we are deeply thankful.

Norma & John Thiessen “We give to CMU because of the impact it (and CMBC) has had on our lives, our children’s lives, and the lives of many others. It has provided a theological framework which allows us to read the Bible in an informed way, gives us the tools to critically engage postmodern thinking, and emotionally connects us to Christ and the Church. We embrace CMU’s vision of educating for peace and justice, and its commitment to open dia- logue with individuals and communities different from our own.”

Library / Bridge Campaign

The construction of the Library and Learning Commons and Bridge is regarded as a key next step in building CMU for the future. Significant design work was completed during the course of the year by our Architects (Friesen Tokar Architects) in consultation with our contractors (Concord Projects Ltd) and a Coordinating Committee of Administrators and Staff. The design of the project emerged with attention paid to balancing aesthetic appeal with the costs of construction and architectural compatibility with the rest of the cam- pus. By the end of the year, the design proceeded to the development of working drawings. The Campaign Cabinet solicited support for this visionary project and raised $4-million toward a goal of $11-million, thus laying the groundwork for the balance of the campaign.
