Kansas State men’s basketball coach Bruce Weber was chosen as the 2016 recipient of the Graven Award, which is presented annually by Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, for his philanthropic endeavors.
The annual Graven Award, now in its 27th year, is presented to a person “whose life is nurtured and guided by a strong sense of Christian calling and who is making a significant contribution to community, church and society.” It is named for the late Judge Henry and Helen Graven, natives of Greene, Iowa, whose lives reflected those same commitments.
“Head coach Bruce Weber has exhibited a lifelong commitment to live out his calling as a person of faith through his vocations as coach, community servant and mentor to students, as well as his commitment to live a life of service through his church commitments,” said the Rev.
