November 28, 1964 - February 27, 1995
AU Graduate - AU Tutor
Bryon Paege graduated in June 1988 with a Bachelor
of Administration from AU. Starting in 1990 he was employed by
AU as a tutor, and worked in that capacity until his untimely
death in 1995. He really lived the ultimate AU student dream,
achieving his degree and then joining the AU academic community
in giving his knowledge and expertise back to other AU students.
Bryon was a valued member of the AU family. He is
vividly remembered by his sisters and brothers in Local 3911,
and it is their intention that his achievements, contributions,
dreams and passing never be forgotten.

The Selection Committee is composed of two members

those nominated, and their decision is final.

Such challenge or adversity may include:
- financial adversity;
