(Oldenburg, Ind.) - Oldenburg Academy recently honored Bob and Autumn Hurm with the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Leadership Award. 

This award was presented at the annual Dinner Auction and is given annually to someone whose dedicated service has demonstrated outstanding leadership in support of the Academy as first exemplified by the school’s foundress, Mother Theresa Hackelmeier.

President Diane Laake shared with the audience that evening: “Put quite simply: ‘Service is in their DNA’.   Whether it’s inventing ‘Twister Taters’ to sell at Freudenfest, providing in-service for our staff on how to administer epi-pens, serving on the OA Board of Trustees for over a decade, or rallying folks to join them in giving of their ‘time, talent and treasure’, these two have stepped up time and time again. They have been the driving force for several years expanding OASIS’ role in Freudenfest and thereby becoming the single largest fundraiser for athletics at OA.  And they do all this and so much more with perpetual smiles on their faces, contagious laughs, and a profound belief in the power of an OA education to make a real difference – in the lives of their 3 children and in the world. With a grateful heart, it is my honor to award the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Leadership Award to Bob and Autumn Hurm!”
