Academic achievement by Lincoln's top second and third year agricultural students has been acknowledged with awards by the New Zealand Institute of Agricultural Science.

He is currently doing Honours with Dr Alex Familton of the Animal and Veterinary Science Group, testing the effect of Ivomec slow release capsules and Cydectin injection on production aspects in two-tooth ewes. An enthusiastic sportsman, Robert is Senior Vice-President of the Lincoln Rugby Football Club.
