Peace Studies Institute Plaque Dedication and
Reception
Each year at Homecoming, the Peace Studies
Institute honors an individual for their
significant contributions to peace and justice.
This year, we recognize Professor Emeritus
Allen C. Deeter ’53 for his contributions
to peace studies, interfaith understanding
and international education. Deeter taught
religion and philosophy at Manchester for
40 years, led the Peace Studies Institute and
served as executive director of international
studies for BCA Studies Abroad (then
Brethren Colleges Abroad).
Alumni are invited to celebrate the life and legacy of Al Deeter, who died in 2013, as we add
his name to the Peacemakers Wall in the Gladdys Muir Peace Garden at 3 p.m. Saturday. The
garden is located on the southwest side of campus.
Hall of Fame
The Manchester University Athletic Hall of Fame and Claude E. Wolfe Coach of the Year
award were established by the Department of Athletics in conjunction with the M Association
in 1994. The Hall of Fame was created to recognize individuals who have brought much
distinction and honor to the prestige of the University and made exceptional contributions
both on and off the field of competition. The Coach of the Year award is presented to an
individual based on his or her achievements and contributions in athletic coaching and who
brings honor to both the University and the memory of Coach Wolfe.
Please join us for the induction and award luncheon on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 at 10 a.m. in
the Jo Young Switzer Center. Cost for the luncheon is $25 per person, $12.50 for ages 6-12,
and free for children 5 and younger. Please register online.
There is no charge if you wish to only attend the ceremony, however an R.S.V.P. online is
necessary so we have enough seating.
