About: Funders & Partners

Funders

NetVue

CMU is the first Canadian post-secondary member of the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE), a North American network of colleges and universities formed to enrich the intellectual and theological exploration of vocation among undergraduate students. This initiative is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC).

The CMU Centre for Career and Vocation is possible thanks to the generous financial support provided through NetVUE.
