Central Methodist University

The enrollment management office at Central Methodist University has welcomed a handful of new student ambassadors for the 2022-23 academic year. These students are some of Central's finest, chosen because of their proven leadership skills, devotion to CMU, and their ability to communicate effectively. They guide potential students and their families around the Fayette campus, sharing the buildings, history, and opportunities found here. Ambassadors explain how the campus functions and what students are likely to experience. Ambassadors assist at other CMU events as well.

With the start of the new academic year comes new residential life staff on the Fayette campus of Central Methodist University, as residence hall directors and residential assistants begin work in their respective buildings. The staff's work got started in earnest in August with student move-in. Residence hall directors for the 2021-22 academic year include Maddi Pragman in Holt Hall, Breanna May in Howard-Payne Hall, Marco Blanchard in Burford Hall, Brent Schuck in Woodward Hall, and Rose Bennett in McMurry Hall. Meanwhile, RAs for each of CMU's five main residential halls are on-hand to assist students with their needs.

The role of the residential life staff, which includes a hall director and assistants for each residence hall, is to provide support for students living on campus. They play an incredibly vital role in the overall on-campus experience, and have been undergoing training to ensure they are adequately prepared.
