Lincoln University students serving their community and striving for excellence in sport were recognised at the annual Blues and Golds Awards ceremony, held on 15 October 2025.

Grace and Halle are jointly recognised for this award. They are the current Tumuaki Takirua of Te Awhioraki. They go above and beyond their leadership role to support tauira Māori and ensure Māori voices are represented and heard across campus. They embody rangatirataka, consistently enabling students and staff to connect with Te Ao and Te Reo Māori through a wide range of activities and events.
