25 Years, 25 Stories

Students are the heart of CMU. Over the past quarter century, our alumni have shaped industries, inspired communities, and redefined what it means to lead with purpose. In celebration of 25 years, we have profiled one remarkable graduate from each year—25 years, 25 stories.

 

Who are CMU alumni?

Given CMU's unique history, it's understandable that this question arises! The answer is simple.

An alumnus is any person who has completed a minimum of 18 credit hours at MBBC/Concord, CMBC, or CMU through the Shaftesbury undergraduate or graduate programs, or the Outtatown Discipleship School.
