What better way to celebrate Grebel’s 60th anniversary than to highlight the people who helped build upon the College’s foundation? Members of Grebel’s communications team, along with a few friends, have been interviewing alumni and capturing their unique stories. So far, 16 inspiring profiles have been published on the Grebel website.

Alumni are chosen based on the interesting avenues their lives have taken since graduating, as well as nominations from their peers. It seems to be a trend that Grebel alumni continue to demonstrate a connection to Grebel’s core values in their lives. From stories of the first Indigenous President of the Canadian Bar Association to the Associate Director behind hit-films like Frozen and Moana, the alumni profiles are not only an inspiring read, but an entertaining one.
