Hitting the water this spring will be the “Roger H. Hull,” a new Dirigo SLX women's eight shell, which Union College Crew was to dedicate on Friday to honor the president's support of their program.
The dedication ceremony, which was to take place at noon on Friday in the Reamer Campus Center atrium, also kicks off the program's annual fundraising weekend. Rowers will participate in an indoor “Erg-a-thon” in which money is pledged for time rowed.
Also planned is a phonathon to crew alumni and friends.
Money raised is to be used for the purchase of new equipment and the club's spring break training trip to Chestertown, Md. About 40 students participate in Union Crew.
