Rhode Island College gave out the inaugural Freshman Leadership Hard Hat Awards at the annual fall sports awards night at the Quonset Officers club.

Each fall sports team carried the Hard Hat this season as a symbol of their commitment to hard work and dedication. At the end of the season, the award is presented to the freshman on the team who best exemplifies what it means to be a RIC student-athlete by their conduct, leadership and dedication throughout the season.
