U Sports, the national governing body for university sport in Canada, has conferred the Austin-Matthews Award for Outstanding Contribution to the late Bob Boucher, whose 37-year UWindsor career included stints as professor, dean of human kinetics, and athletics director.
Dr. Boucher died in November 2020 and is remembered as a mentor and friend by current athletics director Mike Havey.
“Bob was a trusted colleague whose primary focus was always the student-athlete experience,” Havey says. “His perspective was always that of improving the national and conference offices above and beyond any individual benefit to either himself or his institution.”
