On Monday, May 2 at the Willamette University Athletics Awards Ceremony, the 2011 Coaches Council announced the Sue J. Rauch Memorial Award, for Distinguished Service and Commitment to Willamette Athletics.
I was honored enough to introduce the award:
January 15th, 2011 Willamette University lost one of it’s greatest friends when Sue Rauch lost her battle with Cancer. Sue was a mentor to me, and has given me great perspective.
I am proud to announce that in April 2011, the Willamette University Coaches Council established an administrative award in Sue’s name that will be given to the administrator of choice that best exemplifies the support and service that Sue provided to our department during her service.

Distinguished Service and Commitment to Willamette Athletics
“In memory of Sue Rauch, a dedicated member of the Willamette community, serving a vital role in the success of Bearcat Athletics. This award is given in honor of her ongoing support and commitment to the Athletic Department, its Coaches, and its Student-Athletes.”
I would like to thank the Coaches Council for establishing this award, and I thank Sue for providing endless insight, support, and friendship.
