Dr. Robert Laurence Award

Dr. Robert L. Laurence Award
 

History
The Robert L. Laurence award was introduced to NERFU in 1999 by former Executive Director of Colleges, Christopher Fauske. Mr. Fauske's desire was to have the Union acknowledge a College Administrator for their support of rugby in New England and to help build the relationships between the colleges and the union.
 
Robert L. Laurence was chosen to have the award named in his honor based on the tremendous level of dedication he has shown to the Union, the Colleges, and the game in New England.
 
Qualifications
Nominees are to be an employee of a college or university in New England that has a rugby club in good standing with the union and institution. The Nominee may not be a college rugby player or college rugby coach in New England.
