Welcome to the A. Robert Rainville Leadership Awards
For over twenty one years, the Office of Student Involvement/Memorial
Union and Student Life have held an annual celebration to honor students
who are successful in various leadership roles while maintaining
a good academic record. The purpose is to recognize, encourage, and
celebrate student leadership in the campus community. The award is
named in memory of A. Robert Rainville '64, students' friend and mentor,
Vice President for Student Affairs 1980-86.

These awards are among the most prestigious at the University of Rhode Island. Students, staff or faculty are welcome to nominate students and teams for the awards.
