Trinity University has awarded the Daryl Waldron Business Leadership Award to Michael Kiolbassa, president of Kiolbassa Provision Company, Inc., a family-owned business in San Antonio that makes handcrafted smoked meats, including 25 kinds of sausage and several varieties of bacon. This award, established by the Department of Business Administration to recognize outstanding business leadership in our community, aims to connect Trinity University with pivotal business figures in San Antonio.
The award is named in honor of the late professor Darryl Waldron, who taught at Trinity for 37 years and was sought out as an expert given his blend of industry and academic experiences. Waldron founded this award in 2014. He died on Dec. 19, 2017.
