#MennonitesToo: Sexual Violence and Mennonite Peace Theology

2020 Benjamin Eby Lecture

The #MeToo movement has placed sexual violence in the spotlight and Mennonites are asking; “What does it mean to be people of peace when sexual abuse and assault is woven into the fabric of our own communities?” Through a survey of church periodicals, I will show that some Mennonites have been working on this topic for almost fifty years.

Grebel students address helplessness with innovation through the Pandemic Challenge

At the University of Waterloo, innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities are around every corner.

Music and Math is a balanced combination

Music and Mathematics have been connected disciplines in the minds of psychologists and neuroscientists for years.

Many of these studies have found correlations between above-average musical abilities and above-average math performance.
