Dr. Strub is perhaps most notable for his contribution to enhancing the University of Winnipeg’s arts, cultural, and community program. His vision, passion and boundless energy has ensured that Winnipeg and the University are destinations for the world's finest classical artists and has provided dynamic performance opportunities for countless Winnipeg musicians. The Virtuosi Concerts and Skywalk Concerts and Lectures serves as significant representations of the University’s dedication to cultural and community programming. With Strub’s leadership, both programs have greatly impacted the quality of the arts in Winnipeg and have enhanced UWinnipeg's reputation as a centre of cultural excellence. Their success is reflected in their longevity and continued growth over the last quarter of a century.
