River Hawk Racing (RHR) serves as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Chapter at UMass Lowell. We participate in the Formula SAE Competiton hosted annually in both Michigan and Nebraska and needs a variety of students of different majors and backgrounds in order to succeed. Formula SAE® is one of several collegiate design competitions sanctioned by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) f

or student members, which challenges students to produce a racecar in a simulated startup company environment. In contrast with some other engineering-related clubs, River Hawk Racing succeeds most from including students of various backgrounds and majors, including but not limited to, engineering, business, marketing, accounting, and graphic design. Driving the car is only a small fraction of what River Hawk Racing is truly about. Most of the team's progress are down to the most behind the scenes stuff, including working to resolve conflict, building relationships, and ultimately, doing whatever it takes to succeed. The only requirement we have is that you are willing to try. Email us at [email protected]

River Hawk Racing would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Mannjng School of Business for presenting us with the Outstanding Leadership & Development Award for the 2025–2026 academic year.

This recognition means a great deal to our team, as it reflects the work we’ve put into creating an environment where students can grow as leaders while applying classroom knowledge in business, engineering, and project management to real-world challenges.

Over the past year, we’ve focused heavily on hands-on development—whether that’s designing, manufacturing, and competing with a racecar in a single year, expanding our events and community engagement, or helping members progress into leadership roles and professional opportunities.

Thank you to the Manning School for your continued support, and to our members, advisors, sponsors, and supporters who make everything we do possible. We’re excited to keep building on this momentum and continue developing the next generation of leaders.❤️🏎️
