The dedicated team at USPS helps us all by delivering essential medicine, letters, and packages to our doorstep every day. CMU is proud to return the favor and offer postal carriers and USPS personnel opportunities for learning and growth.”

CMU Online looks forward to welcoming USPS employees into its diverse learning community, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in today's rapidly changing world.
