Winners of the Kehrl Academic Excellence Awards have been announced across different departments at Schoolcraft College. These awards are made possible by the generosity of an estate gift to the Schoolcraft College Foundation from Floyd and Marian Kehrl, who began supporting the college in 1964 – a year before the official dedication. Floyd Kehrl even provided the bells for the bell tower.

Schoolcraft College decided to establish these awards to honor their legacy. The family continues to support the Foundation. 

This year’s winners in English, each receiving $925, are: 

• Gabi Marian
• Margarita Mucollari
• Kiara Reese

Marian said she’s especially pleased to win this award because English is her second language. She wants to be a registered nurse.

Mucollari is on track to earn an Associate Degree in General Business and then a bachelor’s degree in business.

Reese is majoring in Nursing, with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse and making a difference in someone’s life.
