We're on a mission!
We are at the beginning of a journey to build the new Niagara University Rugby. Over the next few months we will:
-
Communicate, communicate, communicate – via newsletters, a new and improving website, and social media. Keeping you informed about our progress.
-
Events – we will be sponsoring alumni and rugby community events to let you meet the Director/Coach and the teams.
-
Seeking your support – we will be reaching out with opportunities to support our journey. There will be many opportunities to support the Program as you can…via your time and talents and of course, financially…or both!
