The Susan Schultz Huxman MPACS Award was established as a tribute and expression of gratitude for her service and leadership as president of Grebel from 2011 to 2016.
Susan was a strong advocate for both the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) and Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (MPACS) programs. It was during her presidency that the MPACS program was launched. Susan taught the Leadership and Crisis Communication course in the program. Her own scholarship significantly addressed peace, most notably with the publication of her book Landmark Speeches on U.S. Pacifism in 2015. We invite you to contribute to the endowment of this award, to honour Susan and to support promising MPACS students.
