CMU worldwide
By Barbara Sutherland Chovanec
CMU began offering off-campus programs more than 35 years ago and quickly became a leader in the new concept of off-campus classes for adult learners.
Now off-campus and nontraditional programming is the fastest growing segment in higher education in the United States, and CMU’s programs are still going strong. The university has 28 centers in metro Detroit, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C., 23 centers on U.S. military bases, and international programs in Canada and Mexico.
Travel the world and you’ll find CMU alumni everywhere – due in large part to off-campus programs.
“The Central Michigan experience and the Central Michigan product is shared with colleagues around the world with people from all walks of life, and we should all be proud of that,” says Merodie Hancock, vice president and executive director of CMU Off-Campus Programs. “They’re part of an alumni population that’s worldwide.”
On these pages meet five of the thousands of alumni who haven’t taken one class on the Mount Pleasant campus but are proud to call CMU their alma mater.
