University of Virginia men’s lacrosse player Cole Kastner has been awarded the T. Rodney Crowley Scholarship for 2023-24.

Kastner has a strong record of community involvement at the University and in the Charlottesville area. Within the Department of Athletics, he is a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
