| Those who nominated Niamh said Niamh is an indispensable member of the club. She has made SCCBC such a well-run and warm environment in which to learn and thrive... Niamh epitomises the phrase 'team player'; she is dedicated to the success of the club and always thinks about the greater good of the whole squadand Niamh Louwman is the head and heart of SCCBC. While she's been absolutely amazing as president in managing the logistics and communication for the boat club, I'm nominating Niamh for her contributions to the culture. Joining as a novice (with neither coordination nor talent), I felt immediately welcome, encouraged, and includedAlso nominated were: Tom Aston, Lucy Bartel, Emma Coakley, Kan Li and Isabel Milner |

Nominations will be solicited from members of the Boat Club and will be judged by a committee of former College oarsmen. The medal, designed by Dana Edmondson, depicts a Catherine wheel comprised of oars on a background of water. At the ends of the oars are flames symbolizing warmth and illumination.
