Key AwardsWhile it is good to honor individuals for their special talents, at The College of New Rochelle the importance of long standing commitment to a team is also recognized. The Key Awards are designed to honor those student-athletes who have chosen to dedicate a significant amount of their college careers to participation in the varsity athletic program.
- Silver Key Award – Three-year participants
- Gold Key Award – Four-year participants
Bronze Plaque AwardThe tradition of naming a senior leadership honor roll dates back to 1932. The honorees' names are enshrined on a large bronze plaque on campus. While all of our student-athletes are recognized for their participation in the intercollegiate athletic program, each year those student-athletes who have served the program with distinction as team leaders are honored. To be considered, a student-athlete must be a recipient of the Gold Key Award, signifying four years of participation on a single varsity team and demonstrated noteworthy leadership and service.
The Blue Angel AwardThe Blue Angel Award is given annually to a graduating senior whose record of achievement demonstrates outstanding athletic ability and academic performance, generous service to the College Community, and dedication to The College of New Rochelle. This award is presented in honor of Kathleen LeVache, former Chairperson of Physical Education and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, for her distinguished 46-year career marked by commitment, vision, vitality, and an unquenchable zest for life.
