Conrad Grebel University College, Waterloo, Ont.
This September, more than 260 post-secondary school students made their way to Conrad Grebel University College on the University of Waterloo campus. Arriving from across Canada (primarily Ontario), the United States, and internationally from Indonesia, India, Sudan, Vietnam and China, these students bring much energy, ambition and excitement to the Grebel residence program. Just over 30 percent of Grebel residents come from Mennonite backgrounds, giving the college a rich diversity with more than 30 other Christian denominations represented, plus several other religions.
In addition to being a residence, Grebel is home to UWaterloo’s music, peace and conflict studies, and Mennonite studies departments. Undergraduate numbers for the Fall 2018 term are holding steady at more than 1,500 enrolments, while student interest in Grebel’s graduate programs continue to rise. This year, the master of peace and conflict studies program admitted 20 new students, for a total of 41 current students. The master of theological studies program welcomed 14 new students, bringing the total to 34.
