Champions of Character
Newspaper Staff
Word of the Week Sophie Wilensky THE COLLEGIAN
Faith:
Confidence or trust in a person or traits Traits are: trust, courage, integrity, respect and honor Here at CMU our athletes, members of other organizations and staff members here on campus strive to be the best we can be. The Champion of Character organization here at CMU has one main purpose; that purpose is to make every Eagle the best they can be in the classroom, on the field, in the office and in the community. Hopefully these weekly words can remind of you of how amazing it is to be a CMU Eagle. We hope that each and every one of you takes these words with humility to better yourself, your teammates and the people that encompass your life.
