Today we are, all of us, coming to terms with the violent attack on two students and a professor at Hagey Hall yesterday afternoon. This incident is deeply troubling, and it disrupts our sense of safety, security, and trust. Each of us may be affected in different ways. I am sure that you will be graceful and gentle with each other as we each process this in our own ways. This is a time when we are especially fortunate to have a strong community to rely on.

In July 2023, the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement at Conrad Grebel University College will welcome the Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR) as a Core Collaborator.

Grebel's 60 Stories Project | Erin Brandenburg lived at Grebel in 1997 and graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2001 with a degree in Drama and Arts Management. She now works as a director and writer and lives in Toronto. Erin will be directing her first short film this summer on Pelee Island.

"As a Peace and Conflict Studies graduate student at Grebel  Waterloo, I presented a paper at the International Peace Research Association Peace Conference."

As part of Pride month, Grebel’s first StuCo EDI Officer, an upper-year Health student, reflected on their experience of gender identity, self-realization, and support from the Grebel community.

At Community Supper last Wednesday, Grebel marked the end of Asian Heritage month with guest speaker, Susan Matsuo, sharing about the internment of Japanese Canadians during WWII.

Grebel’s student leadership and residence life are unimaginable without international students. Grebel is committed to developing a more culturally representative student body in residence and leadership roles. At the core, this initiative is about building belonging and celebrating diversity in the community.  

While it is undeniable that OMMC is filled with fun — including campfires, ensembles, recreation games, and musical productions — the people who run the camp make all the difference. That is why Mykayla Turner and Emily Rempel have been chosen as the co-directors of the 2023 OMMC season.

In the beginning of April, Grebel students took the stage and held four performances of the Broadway musical comedy “Something Rotten!”

“When we came to Grebel, although the Grebel meals are fantastic, we still missed spending time at Grandma’s,” said Owen and Adam Roth. That is why Grandma Leola Roth was more than delighted to host suppers on Saturday nights for the Roth cousins and their friends. “Our goal has become to invite all sorts of Grebelites to Grandma’s for dinner in the same way that the Fill-the-Table tradition brings random Grebelites together!”
