This award was established in memory of Mervyn Hann (B.Comm.(Hons.)(Co-op.)’87). Upon graduation from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1987, Mervyn would work with Johnsons Insurance in NL before making his way to Moncton, NB where he grew his career with NBTel. In 1999 Mervyn and family moved to Stittsville, Ontario, where he spent 23 years with Empowered Networks Inc. as Executive Vice President of Sales and Business Development.

Known and loved by so many for friendship, good humour, inclusive nature, kindness, humility and authenticity, Merv was a leader with a tremendous capacity for empathy. His impact on the Class of 1987 spanned over 30 years.
