4 1963 Then 2013 A Message from the Board Chair & Now Greetings friends of Grebel. It has been another exciting year for Conrad Grebel here on the campus of the University of Waterloo. We celebrated our 50th Anniversary with over 50 events both celebrating our past, our present, and looking toward the future. The minutes of the first Board meeting highlight issues that are still discussed today. Various conferences of Mennonites were represented around the table to discuss their possible role. There is also a note in the minutes about the role of the executive secretary-treasurer being important as he would have to handle the negotiations with the University. We are a church college and so we serve the church. At the same time, Grebel was created to add value to the University. Today, Grebel is still in constant negotiations with the University. On June 22, we celebrated the Grand opening of the expansion of the academic programs including the MSCU Center for Peace Advancement. It was a great event marking the tremendous generosity of our Grebel supporters. The new space will provide opportunities to continue our work in peace, music and community engagement. 1963-64 Board of Governors (l-r): J.

With the new space and the new people on staff, we have great energy to fulfill our mission “to seek wisdom, nurture faith and pursue justice and peace in church and society.” As a Board , we have begun the process of formulating our next five year strategic plan (2015-2012). It is our task to set out the future plan for Grebel and determine how the College interacts with both Church and University. We had two long-term board members, Byron Weber Becker and Wendy Cressman Zehr completed their valuable service to the Board of Governors. Sincerely, Fred Redekop, Board Chair
