The Deborah Yedlin
– Be Athletic – Be Anything Award

To honour Deborah Yedlin, 14th Chancellor of the University of Calgary. Chancellor Yedlin is passionate about the power of education and its influence on the trajectory of a person’s life. She often inspires students by telling them, “a BA means you can Be Anything you want to be.”

This award also reflects an axiom shared with Deborah by her late father - mens sana in corpore sano - a latin phrase about the ideal of versatility and emphasizing the contribution of both intellectual and physical engagement (“Be Athletic”) as integral to a person's overall health and well-being.

Thank you for honouring Chancellor Yedlin’s leadership and service through your support of this award. The scholarship will support undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts who are members of a Dinos Athletic team as they complete their degrees.

Note: If this fund does not reach the minimum to endow, the award will be turned into a spend-down fund supporting the original intention of the award.
