After two years of online learning during the pandemic, Andrew Enns is finally experiencing in-person learning on the University of Manitoba campus.
Enns, a third-year student in the agriculture program, is now making new friends and reconnecting with former friends and acquaintances at the Menno Office.

University of Manitoba students who gather online for peer support, topical discussion and spiritual guidance in the E-Menno Office had an unexpected surprise during the fall term.
WINNIPEG—The Inter-Mennonite Chaplaincy Association's Menno Office suffered extensive smoke and water damage after a fire blazed outside the University of Manitoba’s University Centre on March 13. No one was injured in the fire, but the Menno Office will be unavailable for use for at least six months during restoration, with the possibility of being permanently relocated to another building on campus, separating it from its neighbouring chaplaincies.
