Our founding president, J. Winfield Fretz, continues to be a source of wisdom for us at Conrad Grebel University College. One of Fretz’s many qualities was plain, straightforward communication. He had a knack for quickly coming to the point of any agenda—a gift for brevity.
It’s in this spirit that we offer Grebel’s 2017-18 Annual Report—a short document presenting our simplified financial statements, statistics on our educational and residence programs, and other data about the life of the College this year.
These basic facts give us much to be thankful for. For example, our financial statements once again show a modest surplus. Donations, along with the number of donors, increased substantially, and more financial aid went to more students than ever before. On behalf of everyone at Grebel, we thank our many supporters for their commitment to the College, which enables our vision, mission, and work.
We know that numbers and statistics do not tell the whole story, and perhaps not even the most important parts of the story. There is a living community behind the numbers: inspiring students, dedicated staff, gifted faculty, generous donors, interesting alumni, enriching programs, and committed partners. For further insight into College life, we invite you to read our magazine Grebel Now. Twice a year, Grebel Now offers a fascinating window on College life—our scholarship, our programs, and our people.
Brevity is not the only thing to be learned from Winfield Fretz. We think his comments about the importance of integrity (quoted above) touch the heart of what Grebel’s annual report should be: facts presented simply, truthfully, and transparently. We trust that this report demonstrates that we share Winfield’s commitment to integrity.
A SURPLUS OF GRATITUDE“Of all human virtues, the principle of integrity is among the foremost, in my scale of value. This I believe, because genuine integrity tends to be close to or identical with reality. Integrity and truth are equals.”
~J. WINFIELD FRETZ FOUNDING PRESIDENT 1963-73

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORTCONRAD GREBEL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
2
The Music and the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) departments each celebrated their 40th anniversaries this year. Both began modestly with a few courses in the 1970s, and now offer a full complement of academic plans in the Faculty of Arts. Our Master of Theological Studies program is now 30 years old, and welcomed 16 new students—its largest cohort ever—in 2017.
Undergraduate course enrolments held steady at just under 3600. Our classes were attended by students from every faculty at the University of Waterloo.
Other highlights from the year included the following:
• The Conrad Grebel Review published a special edition of papers from the 2016 conference on Global Mennonite Peacebuilding held at Grebel in 2016.
• Dr. Karen Sunabacka, an outstanding music scholar and composer, joined our faculty in July 2017.
• The College awarded its first Fretz Fellowship in Mennonite Studies to Dr. Aileen Friesen, who spent a year at Grebel teaching and researching.
In addition to their on-campus teaching, faculty and other academic personnel brought their expertise to the academy and community with: 26 publications;
31 concerts; 69 public lectures, scholarly presentations, and workshops; and 35 sermons, adult education classes, and other service to churches. Grebel faculty and staff were also actively involved in University of Waterloo life, serving on many university committees and contributing to campus-wide initiatives including HeForShe (a gender awareness and equity initiative), the Indigenization Strategy, and the President’s Advisory Committee on Student Mental Health.
The Grebel residence was as lively as ever this past year, ably led by our Student Services team, the Dons, and an inspired Student Council. Ninety different students were involved in formal leadership roles within the residence community. One of the many highlights this year was the student-led construction of a campfire pit, which has quickly become a well-used feature of the College.
Our residence students decided, by referendum, to increase their Student Refugee Levy from $20 per year to $40. This is the second consecutive year that Grebel students have doubled support for this fund, which is used to sponsor refugee students to live at Grebel and study at the University of Waterloo. We are proud of our students and their capacity to act on values of compassion and justice.

Grebel ended the 2017-18 financial year with a small surplus, making this the 21st consecutive year of balanced budgets. Stable finances over multiple years have enabled the College to upgrade aging buildings and equipment, and to build appropriate reserves for operational contingencies.
Successful long-term financial stewardship has also enabled the College to steadily increase its commitment to student awards. Ten years ago, Grebel provided just over $100,000 annually in scholarships and bursaries. This year, we awarded a record $455,125 to 216 students. Of that amount, $255,000 was funded from annual operations, with the balance coming from designated annual donations and income from a growing pool of scholarship endowments. Awards help make education more affordable for students and their families, and also incentivize enrollment in Grebel’s residence and academic programs.
In addition to supporting student awards, Grebel’s endowments sustain public lectures, the Fretz fellowship, and other activities that serve church and society. The market value of Grebel’s endowment portfolio as of April 30 was just over $8M. Investments are managed by the Board Finance and Development Committee, assisted by a separate Investment Advisory composed of Board members and experienced members of the College constituency.

ADVANCEMENTWe gratefully received over $1.9 million in donations in 2017-18. These gifts were used throughout the College to support student awards, public lectures, concerts, community education, and all of our formal academic programs, all in service to church and society. More than $245,000 in donations came from Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC), providing targeted support for the Anabaptist Learning Workshop, Ontario Mennonite Music Camp, Theological Studies, and for general operations and programs.
We also received the final installments of pledges from “The Next Chapter” building campaign (which expanded the library and archives, classrooms and music studios, and built the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement).
