It would be an incredible loss to end Colby Rugby

Trevor Sherburne has made me who I am today. Save this program in order to keep producing men like him.

Colby Rugby is a fabulous way for boys and girls to share in the experience of a team - a team that supports each other, cheers each other on, shares in failures, and celebrates in triumphs. You take that away, and you take away a spirit of belonging and friendship.

Ruby at Colby is an integral part of Colby's athletic options. I firmly believe it should stay a part of Colby.

This is an extremely disappointing move on the part of the school. Women's Rugby has been a part of the Colby Community since 1981 and Men's Rugby for just as long, if not longer. It is an integral part of the Colby experience for many students every year. There are plenty of club and varsity sports that continue at Colby that are high impact sports and yet they are not being cancelled. Rugby is a sport that is practiced around the world, and at many colleges across the country and the athletes involved understand and agree to the risks involved. I truly hope that President Adams and Dean Keltzer reconsider this decision as it affects not only current and future students but also the thousands of proud Colby Rugby alumni and seems to have been made without the input of the teams, the alumni or the school at large. Sincerely, Jessica Pachler '97 Class of 1997, Alumni President

20 years after graduating from Colby, and I still consider rugby to be one of my most formative experiences. When I think of Colby, the first thing that comes to menory is rugby.

2002 - Colby Rugby was a big part of my college experience and I would not have considered attending Colby if it had not had a rugby program.
