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.

Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, it will be awarded annually to a student in any year of study in any undergraduate program in the Faculty of Business Administration who exhibits exceptional, empathetic leadership qualities during their program and among their peers. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. This award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Business Administration.
