The Winters Award -- named for the F&M alumnus whose World War II leadership was documented in Stephen Ambrose's 1992 book "Band of Brothers" and subsequent HBO miniseries -- was presented to Bryan Stabbe '13. In his four years at F&M, Stabbe has served as president of Ware College House Parliament and held leadership roles in a variety of campus organizations, including Phi Kappa Psi and Club Council.

“I miss every season as soon as it’s over,” Stabbe said. “At the end of every football season I wish it was the start of football season and at the end of every basketball season I wish it was the start of basketball season. It is hard to get timing down and emotionally I always miss it.

“Bryan spoke with poise, and caught the spirit of being an engaged citizen within the House,” Eigen says. “He was able to articulate, more than I could, the balance between having a House identity and a College identity. A year before, he was sitting where they were sitting. He articulated what it means to be a member of the House.”
