• Manitoba schools
unity
Canadian Mennonite University, Booth College,
Providence College & Seminary and Steinbach Bible College are working
together to promote Christian higher education in Manitoba. The joint
effort, called ‘Spirited Education,’ features a website and
advertising campaign that encourages students from outside the province to
consider studying at one of the four schools. Providence Dale Nye is
enthusiastic about a whole new spirit. “If a student comes to us and
another school has a better fit we now are happy to refer them on.
We’ve grown beyond territorialism and competitiveness. Together we
carry a unified message to the world, of Manitoba and beyond.” He
also spoke of leaders in similar roles now befriending one another.
“As individuals we’re discovering a new synergy that is helping
us all,” he said. The schools chose the name ‘Spirited
Education’ to tie into the province’s new marketing slogan, and
to emphasize the spiritual or faith aspect of the education they offer.
