Dan Breuer Wins Augustana Covenant Award for Excellence
SIOUX FALLS - Dan Breuer, a senior from Luverne, Minn., is the
recipient of the Augustana Covenant Award for Excellence.
Breuer received the award from Augustana President Bruce R. Halverson
before a Boe Forum crowd of 4,000 in the Elmen Center Thursday night.
"The Covenant Award is a special recognition of our students
at Augustana," President Halverson said. "The award provides our
campus community with an opportunity as a college of faith and character
to acknowledge the gifts that our students bring to Augustana as
reflected in our five values: Christian, Liberal Arts, Excellence,
Community, and Service."
Earlier in the school year, Covenant Awards sponsored by Student
Services were awarded to Ann Rosendale (Mankato, MN) for Christian
Faith, Rhea Staniszewski (Russell, MN) for Liberal Arts, and Ryan
Ovenden (Sioux Falls, SD) for Community.
Breuer is a Dean's List student majoring in social studies teaching
and secondary education. He served as vice president of the Augustana
Student Association for the 2002-2003 school year, and in the fall
of 2004 was co-chair of New Student Orientation.
He has been described as, "compassionate and caring with a huge
heart and an enormous concern for others."
In nominating Breuer, a faculty member wrote: "In this special
student's four years at Augustana, a pattern of servant leadership
has emerged and it is clear that the time and effort invested by
this student have and will continue to make Augustana a better place."
Breuer is the son of Leroy and Pearl Breuer. |
