On April 26, 2025, the Holmes Student Center’s iconic Sky Room was filled with pride, purpose, and panoramic views for the 2025 Balanced Man Scholarship Dinner and Awards Banquet.
Twenty of our twenty-four finalists gathered with family and friends to be recognized for their academic achievements, leadership, and embodiment of SigEp values. Each was awarded Start with Why by Simon Sinek, and their choice of Find Your Why or The Third Door.
The following eight men received scholarship awards ranging from $250 to $1,000:
- David Magana
- Ryan Fotre
- Izaiah Morris
- Brandon Padilla
- John Saracco
- Nathanael Shumway
- Joseph-Bernard Smith
- Nicholas Vernald
These young men exemplify the Balanced Man ideal. Their futures are bright — and so is the future of SigEp Illinois Epsilon.
“The energy in the room was electric — you could feel the future being built in real time.” — Markus Ketel ’91
