Who's Heinz Harant?

Throughout his time at University and after graduation, Heinz dedicated years of service to student life on campus. This included 28 years of service on the Union's Board of Management, many years serving on the University Council, the creation of a Provisional Committee for the establishment of a Students' Guild and, consequently, as a founding member of the Students' Guild Council.

He then went on to serve for many years on the Students' Guild Council, advocating issues such as autonomy, freedom of speech and political action. Because of his impeccable standards of honesty and care, he was gladly accepted as Honorary Treasurer of countless activities and Returning Officer.

Heinz helped to establish the University's Alumni Association and remained on the Alumni Board from its inception until his death in 1993. He was awarded a special Alumni Award for service in recognition of his outstanding commitment.
