As a University of 蓝莓视频 Engineering graduate and a Conrad Grebel alumnus, Edward Penner (鈥86) and his wife Judy wanted to develop an award that recognized both areas. 鈥溊遁悠 is a university with a great Engineering program and this will provide support for someone pursuing such a future. Grebel is also a great place, with a unique and positive culture,鈥 reflected Edward. 鈥淭his award recognizes a student who contributes to Grebel, continuing to foster the culture we all value. Grebel is clearly a fantastic place to be while gaining an exceptional university education, and this award supports both those endeavours. I think it鈥檚 important to contribute to the people and places that helped develop us and prepare us for life ahead.鈥
Named 鈥淭he Marpeck Leadership Award,鈥 this generous gift to Grebel will be used to retain upper year students in the residence or apartments. Engineers comprise about 20% of Grebel鈥檚 residential study body in any given term. They are gifted students who are full of leadership potential and brilliant ideas. This award money allows us to acknowledge and nurture their potential.
