Strengthening Faith Through Education
Riley Koop, a third-year Chemical Engineering student, says attending the University of Waterloo and living at Conrad Grebel University College is the best of both worlds. "I don’t have to make a choice between quality education or a thriving spiritual and community life here," he said. As a member of Vineland United Mennonite Church, Riley feels comfortable in his home away from home because of Grebel's "strong commitment to being a Mennonite institution," which allows him to deepen his faith "in a space that encourages questions while still being rooted in the same Anabaptist-Mennonite values that are important."
