2025 Paul Lewis Student-Athlete Service Award recipient Nina Gulbransen with the late Paul Lewis' wife, Andrea, and daughter, Nicole.
The late Paul Lewis (CGS '83, SHA '85), a Boston University football All-American and a mentor to numerous inner-city children in Boston, was honored by the BU Department of Athletics in Spring 2019 with the Student-Athlete Service Award being named in his honor. Lewis, who passed away suddenly in September 2018 at the age of 55, was a two-time All-America running back for Terriers and led them to three consecutive NCAA Division I-AA Tournament appearances. As a senior, Lewis was the recipient of the Mickey Cochrane Award as the University's Male Athlete of the Year.
The Paul Lewis Student-Athlete Service Award recognizes a senior student-athlete who has demonstrated a commitment to serving Boston University, the Department of Athletics, and the larger Boston community over the course of his or her time at BU. Award recipients have exhibited this commitment through involvement in campus organizations and activities, volunteer work, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, University and/or Athletics Department committees, and other service oriented activities.
