Evan Bowers (Sheffield University Orienteering Club). As Club Captain, Evan has worked extremely hard to navigate the club through such a difficult period for all university clubs, in terms of looking after their existing members, recruiting new students, running events and training sessions through the changing regulations, and keeping the club going financially. The club was awarded the Digital Engagement award in the 2021 Sheffield University Sports Awards for finding ways to engage with its members. Sheffield is hosting this year's British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) and Evan have dedicated himself wholeheartedly to making the event a success. Evan has managed all of this whilst also pursuing his demanding dentistry studies and is always enthusiastic, supportive, and available to answer questions and sort out problems.
