Grebel Now Spring 2020

It’s been a surprising term at Grebel this winter, with the COVID-19 pandemic at the centre of everyone’s attention. This issue of Grebel Now shares stories of the resilience and connectedness of students, faculty, and staff as we live, study, and work at a distance from each other in a crisis-stricken world. But, as you will read here, more has happened at the College, before and beyond the coronavirus. Grebel’s community is strong because of the foundation that is built from the first day of classes and throughout the whole university experience. And it extends into the future—in workplaces, relationships, and purpose. Some stories in this issue focus on mental health and wellness, as seen through the lens of Grebel’s programs and people. Other stories look at the underlying reasons and results of our intentional and beloved traditions that create a capacity for resilience. And others still, celebrate accomplishments and milestones of our students, faculty, and alumni. As you read this issue in isolation, remember that as part of the Grebel community you aren’t really alone! We look forward to the day that we can meet again face-to-face.

Grebel Now Spring 2019

Grebel is a college community that nourishes body, mind, and spirit on many levels! On the surface, our kitchen and dining room project clearly illustrates our commitment to physical nourishment, celebrating Grebel’s tradition of having students in all disciplines and years live and eat together. As you’ll soon discover, this intentional mix of students is one reason why Grebel teams do so well in hackathons and pitch competitions. Bringing different backgrounds and academic disciplines together strengthens the team—and Grebel’s community. 

This edition of Grebel Now also tells stories of how the Arts at Grebel nourish the mind in our commitment to Theology, Religious Studies, PACS, History, Mennonite Studies, and Sociology. And our spirits are fed through talented musicians, student passion for drama, and creating a place for visual arts in our Grebel Gallery.
