Brown and Schubert Receive Servant Leaders Awards

ANDERSON, IN - Anderson University juniors Stephanie Brown and Chad Schubert recently received the 2009 Nicholson Student Servant Leadership Award for services on campus and in the community.

The awards were made possible by a grant from the Moore Foundation and Barney II Foundation as well as matching funds directed to the university by Anderson University donors.

The award is named in honor of Dr. Robert A. Nicholson, president emeritus of Anderson University.  Brown and Schubert were selected by representatives of the Student Life Department to receive this award because of their involvement in service activities.

Each student personally received $750 and also designated a charity of their choice to receive $250.  Brown has chosen Young Life of Henry County based in New Castle, IN and Schubert selected the Mulunda Miaka Orphanage in Zambia, Africa.
