Last March, Canisius announced the formation of an intercollegiate rowing program, with a women’s team competing as a Division I varsity sport and a men’s team competing at the club level.
With the assistance of the West Side Rowing Club (WSRC), the college has purchased two eight-oared shells, 20 sets of oars and 20 ergometers for indoor training.
While the newly purchased equipment provides a great foundation, substantial support is still needed for:
Recruitment
Team travel
Equipment transportation
Regatta fees
Spring training trips
Equipment maintenance and replacement
For more information on how to support Intercollegiate Rowing, contact Dianna Civello, Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement at (716) 888-8220 or at civellod@canisius.edu.
