A Christian university is proving they would go to great lengths to share stories from their students, including using a 30-foot pole.

Canadian Mennonite University's yearly Spring at CMU had to quickly adapt in light of COVID-19. Instead of cancelling the event, the school came up with creative solutions to showcase how students and staff adapted to the pandemic.

"My prayer is that everyone who connects through CMU in this time and always would be touched by whatever is beautiful, choose not to be afraid, and follow paths that emerge with grace and raw courage," President Cheryl Pauls says in a statement

Using a video format, the school highlighted current students and alumni, as well as faculty reflecting on what changes the school is making as the pandemic continues.

Less than one week ago, dozens of students in CMU's Outtatown program became stranded in Guatemala overnight. In a combined effort, CMU worked with the Canadian government to extract students and bring them home.

As Outtatown students now isolate for two weeks, Pauls went to great lengths to interview two students about the experience. 

Two students, Miriam Huebner and Kara LeBlanc, are currently isolating together on the third floor of Huebner's family home. In order to interview them, Pauls brought a very long pole with a microphone attached.

The two women answered questions from Pauls on what it was like to be in Guatemala, as well as how they are doing in isolation.

Spring at CMU also shared how students still living on campus are handling the changes, as well as how classes and schoolwork are continuing despite not meeting in person.
