Awards Night of Excellence 2020
Each year, we honour our exceptional students and generous donors at a special evening that we call 'Awards Night of Excellence.' Unfortunately, the event we'd planned for March 17, 2020 had to be cancelled due to public health considerations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Even in these uncertain times, it’s important that we continue to celebrate the wonderful traditions established here at The University of Winnipeg. We all wish we could have marked this occasion in person at Riddell Hall. In lieu of that, we have brought our 2020 Awards Night of Excellence online. Thank you for helping us recognize our honourees.

I want to send a warm welcome to our students, your families and friends, faculty members, staff, and donors.
I want to congratulate each and every student recognized by our faculties for your exceptional accomplishments and acknowledge the significant amount of effort that goes into your studies. UWinnipeg has a rich history of growing leaders and we know you are poised to go on and make an impact in your chosen field.
It’s also important to acknowledge the people who have helped you achieve excellence.
It starts with your friends and family, many of whom make their own sacrifices to help you reach your dreams. Then there’s the support of our tremendous faculty members and staff, who are dedicated to providing a quality educational experience and opportunities to enrich your studies.
And, of course, the awards and scholarships that supported you were provided by our donors, like Dr. John Krahn, who made generous gifts because they believe that your education is an important investment in our future.
Again, congratulations to all of our award recipients. As you make your way through our webpage, please be sure to sign our virtual guestbook.

John Krahn, BSc '68
Longtime Donor
During the past 40 years, Dr. John Krahn and his family have been staunch supporters of The University of Winnipeg.
Dr. Krahn’s ties to UWinnipeg date back to the 1960s when he received a Bachelor of Science in chemistry and physics in 1968. After obtaining his PhD from the University of Manitoba and then his postdoctoral degree at the University of Alberta in 1975, Dr. Krahn went on to work as a clinical biochemist at the St. Boniface Hospital for nearly 25 years.
“Although I had always loved school and science, my passions grew exponentially at The University of Winnipeg, largely due to my excellent science professors,” he said. “Dr. Fred Barth, in particular, encouraged me to go to graduate school.”
In 2006, UWinnipeg recognized Dr. Krahn with the Distinguished Alumni Award, adding to a long list of honours that already included the award for Outstanding Contribution to Clinical Chemistry from the Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists and Outstanding Service to Clinical Chemistry from the Alberta Society of Clinical Chemistry. He also currently serves on UWinnipeg’s Alumni Association Council.
Now Dr. Krahn is giving back to the university that first spurred his passion for science by funding the John Krahn Award. This new scholarship will support the next generation of science students studying chemistry or natural sciences as they pursue their dreams.
“Giving back is an expression of my gratitude for all the help I received throughout my education and career.”
The first John Krahn Award will be presented in Fall 2021.
